The next weak spot for handling was sway bars. The stock sway bars mixed with the stickiest tires I could buy, stiff springs and a lowered ride…..I had a ton of body roll diving into turns and even more so while putting any kind of throttle input exiting a turn.
I went with Hotchkis Swaybars
They are 2 way adjustable in the front with a hollow front bar, and 4-way adjustable in the back.
I had these installed again by @WiebtechPerformance and he set them for the softest setting up front and the second softests in the back. Even with them set this way, the roll stiffness in doubled for the front sway bar, and it is balanced for slight oversteer. I have not been able to induce understeer since getting these installed.

Also, I added a FR-Speed Front Strut Tower Bar from FRSmod.com/ Dynosty.
It is under $100 and I added it to help tie up the front end during hard cornering.
