its a street car, seems just shy of 600 miles per week so nothing to harsh but i focus alot on cornering and back road racing so i want it to grip and hold good, the engines not doing much more then stock but thats next years expense so itll have to hold up to 350hp/tq but otherwise very streetable

Yes. A swaybar equalizes corner forces. A panhard bar helps to hold the rearend centered in the car so it doesnt move side to side.
