Pfadt strut brace, I really didn't want to drill but made a huge difference in extreme maneuvers a must for me may not be a must for you, not needed in your case. Springs and struts still stock on my car your v6 may have different spring rates.The front sway bar is garbage way too small for my L99 3900lbs and a highly contributes to front end understeer, and maybe even for your car. I don't believe in the rear balance bar since the front end slop also needs to be addressed as well, Steering rack bushing from BMR or Pedders is also a must,( didn't think it would make a difference but it did big time, made my steering feel more stable and firm). Now my front end control arms are the weak link and I am now replacing my front control arm bushings. After my few suspension mods the verdict is this rear cradle bushing upgrade are not needed for non extreme drivers my rear end now feels very planted, however the rear end cradle bushings are horrible and I would recommend them upgraded anyway even with inserts, in my case I have to do cradle bushing and was even considering Pfadts solid units for extreme ability. I've spent about $1300 so far on all my suspension mods so far about $1000 without the Pfadt strut brace and my car now handles very well for a guy like you. So for you I would say Sways F/R endlinks and BMR rear LC arm reinforcement piece, rear trailing arm and toelink arm,( I personally like Pfadts trailing arm and toelink arm best, perfect blend of light weight and strength, my BMR trailing arm is very heavyduty but a little too heavy for best suspension performance bound rebound wise), BMR or Pedders steering rack bushing, radius rod bushing, a must for the front end in my book, cradle bushings because the stock stuff is crap, literally feels like marsh mellows, also the way the rear cradle moves around I think it would lead to premature differential and driveshaft damage in the future. (((SWAY BARS AND SPRINGS ALONE ARE NOT GOING TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM AND CORNERING INSTABILITY WILL STILL BE AN ISSUE SLOPPY FACTORY BUSHINGS ARE THE MAIN REASON THIS CAR WALLOWS LIKE A PIG)))
