i would say both denmark. do the sway bars first (uprate but keep the front rear ratio's the same as stock) then look at stiffer springs/damper rates (if you dont mind it bumpy). remember the damping rate must match the springs or it will be under/over damped.

IMO the springs need uprating and the rear roll bar wants increasing to reduce the weight transfering onto the front outside corner......but also to maintain the balance.

Are the dampers OE??

The dampers will only help on initial turn in. The springs and roll bars contol how much the car rolls.
