TEMS has to do with your dampers. Putting a sway bar in doesn't alter that in anyway.
You'll notice a big improvement in handling.

I come from a land down under
There are minimal Steering/cornering forces going through the Towers and the layout of most strut bars/braces isn't triangulated so they're a total waste of time and money other than the placebo effect they're useless.....

One word: Shocks, springs, poly bushings and sway bars.

Indeed. Although, I suppose I should have said "one thing". Any one of those will make a difference where an old car is concerned, all of them and you'll stick to the road like that surgical adhesive they play with in underground fetish clubs.
