Question regarding Mixing Swaybars with Suspension

Has anyone ever mixed the Racing Beat swaybars to the MazdaSpeed suspension (ms springs/shocks and strut tower bars) together ?

If so what kind of experience do you get from this combination ?

What I want out of this is a ride that is not too stiff but stiffer than our stock suspension. I saw the RB spring rates and MS spring rates but I have chosen to get the MS suspension because I rather swap springs and shocks together and I have heard great reviews about this package.
My question is would the MS suspension plus the RB sway bars make the car overly stiff for a car that would just be a weekend warrior ? What would you guys think would happen ?

Forgive me if this was a repost.

this is EXACTLY the answer i'm looking for. Currently, i have the full MS suspension package... shocks/struts/springs, and front strut brace (4pt), and rear JIC strut brace... i'm looking to put the RB package in....

HELP GUYS!!!

I feel you on this. I have the RB swaybars and I fell in love with the MS struts/springs and it makes me curious as to what kind of effects it would cause to the car. More understeer? /oversteer ?, 10x harsher ride (exaggerated) or whatever.

I noticed from the sways that there is less understeer and you can take turns better than with the OEM sway bars. But what happens when you add the MS suspension + RB sways ?
