My 72 TA cornered much flatter than my friends regular 73 Camaro. Whether it was the harsher springs or the thicker sway bars I don't know. My TA had a rear bar, the Camaro didn't. I've put thicker front bars and new rear bars on two A bodies that didn't have them stock (67 lemans and 69 GTO) and both handled really well afterward, really a pleasure to drive. I also swapped a thicker front bar and a thick rear bar onto a 87 Cutlass.
It went from really leaning all over the place to feeling much sportier and controllable. I had a 68 Firebird long ago; stock suspension. It was very stable at high speeds but hard cornering it wasn't so great. Neither was my 69 Firebird convertible even after new higher rate springs and new shocks. No changes in sway bars.
