just the sways rich or did you go underbody braces as well? did it have much effect on over/under steer characteristics?

Rear sway bar will make it more over steery..

Front flatens it out but can increase understeer.

I've found that the front doesn't increase understeer, but when it 'let's go' you are going a lot faster than with the stock bar making it feel like it increases understeer.

Regardless, F&R swaybars are one of the best bang for bucks mod you can do imo.

Anybody have any experience with underbody h braces as well as the swaybars? I just see deals where I can get all in a bundle

I have a Whiteline H-brace which is pretty light and fits well.
I got to hold a Cusco one at the same time, and the Cusco was amazingly light, but more expensive.

So I have Whiteline H-brace, F & R sway bars, rear strut brace, ALK and a carbon STi front strut brace.
Made one hell of a difference once it was all in.

What are you using the car for? If only road then making the car too stiff will not be a good thing. Especially on our crappy roads. Can make it bounce over stuff and slide very easily.
