I second that one. Dial in as much positive caster and negative camber as you can, and toe out the front wheels a bit to help the car turn in. This will increase the grip of the front tires. Tuning with swaybars is a perfectly valid tool, but always remember that as you add roll stiffness (e.g. stiffen the springs or swaybar) at one end of the car, you're decreasing the available grip at that end. It's always better to *add* grip at the pair of tires that is not working, rather than decrease it at the pair of tires that is working, whenever you can.
