You will need very stiff springs if you want the car to
corner flat. big swaybars won't do much to control the
lean, the car is too heavy and even aftermarket springs
aren't stiff enough to do it. For a short time i had H&R
Sports on my car with a big 22mm Racing Dynamics front
swaybar (set to full stiff) and a 14.5mm rear M3 bar,
and the car still leaned way too much in the corners.
Here's a pic of it with that setup, and i'm not even
on the brakes ! Look at how much it's leaning:

And here's how flat it stays with the same big swaybars and
Bilstein shocks, only now it's on very stiff Ground Control
race springs:
