This is why I like to do modifications like chassis bracing first on a car, before any other suspension or power mods: if you can eliminate all the annoying little wiggles and skittishness of the car at its outer limits, then you can get a much clearer mental picture of what the car's capabilities are, and where the improvements will make the most difference. In my opinion I'd say that with just the strut-tower bar and door stabilizers, the stock suspension isn't all that bad (for my use), but the tires are pure and utter crap. Really, really, REALLY wanting my new wheels to get here, so I can do something about that.
