anti-sway bars vs coil covered shocks 200 1989

Just want to check out others opinions about “anti-sway bars” vs. “coil covered shocks“. I was watching one of those “fast n loud’ car programs, (I think it was “Fast ‘n Loud , not sure) They were talking about installing coil covered shocks vs. HD anti-sway bars.

The jist of it was that even though heavy duty anti-sway bars offer some support on the suspension inc cornering that the coil covered shocks where much better in that they held up on cornering much better and recovered far faster. They said that anti-sway bars are “too slow“. Reason I ask? I do have IPDs HD anti-sway bars front and back, and HD shocks, but what ”they” said perked my interest.

I'm not saying I will go right out and change over, but I’d at least like to know if the comment was valid and figured people here would have, hopefully, knowledgeable replies.

Thank you!
