They are quite useful, they keep the body from swaying when you go around a corner.

Alright, thanks for the info. I had to replace my torsion arm and i found an arm off of an older car but it didnt have the bar. Thanks again.

Looking at another of your posts, where you ask about getting above 90 MPH, I recommend getting the heavy duty (3/4") sway bars, and also installing sway bars on the rear.
The stock suspension set-up wasn't designed for the speeds you want, and these cars aren't very forgiving when they start to get out of control.

Nope. Strictly an aftermarket performance item.
