Well,since I asked some questions,I figured I'd contribute some knowledge too.
SWAY BARS: Sway bars are hollow tube or solid bars that connect either side of your suspension from left to right in the front and the same in the rear.Sway bars act like a spring in between the left and right side suspension by resisting any change in compression difference between sides.This is part of the reason that cars with stiff springs and rear sway bars will pick up a tire during hard cornering.Generally stiffer front sway bars will induce an understeer condition and a stiffer rear sway bar will allow the vehicle to rotate easier during turning.It should also be mentioned that while the sway bars resist the difference between left and right sides they will have no effect if both sides of the suspension make the same compression at the same time and distance.
I will fill in more info later as needed.
