Bill, front sway bars make a huge difference in cornering. My 3 has a
front sway bar, factory competition spec front springs & SPAX shocks
adjusted to the firm side.
Most people agree that for a 3 you want to have a tight front end and a
loose rear end to help keep both rear wheels on the ground. Rear sway
bars seem to give you good cornering up to an unpredictable point where
the rear end goes off on its own direction. I'm not positive but I
think the point is when a rear tyre gets lifted enough to loose
traction. For predictable handling on high speed curves you don't want
a rear sway bar.
For years the go to person for front sway bars has been Ted.
