The rear sway bar will improve "body roll." Body roll is the feeling you get when you go around corners and feel your X lean. It really helps handling at faster speeds like on the highway.
Radius rods will prevent axle wrap. Axle wrap causes the rear axle to go out of square with the vehicle, which can lead to your X not tracking/driving in a straight line when you hit bumps. Again, really noticeable at highway speeds.
