Suspension
Hey guys, MonteLSV6 here and I'm wanting to upgrade my suspension to make it handle better in the turns so that its not leaning as much. I would like it to be more tighter (lol) when it turns and also not dip as much while turning and handle better overall. I forgot what there called. Please someone help me out here. Any suggestions about products would be great. Thanks guys and gals!

Yeah, the STB is a good idea. I decided to take mine off to take a drive and see what a difference it made yesterday. Let me tell you, I wasnt expecting that. It gives the car a whole different personality. It seems like it will make tighter corners if you turn the wheel more, but it also seems like its very unreliable turning like you could spin out very easy. Kinda like the car wanted to twist and one of the back wheels (the opposing wheel from the direction you're tuning) wanted to come off the ground. Makes me think it will prolong the life of the body and chassis also?

Get the GMPP handling kit, comes with a STB, larger sway bars front and rear, and trailing arms. Huge difference. My car has little to no body roll. Of course my STB I got with the kit went to the rear struts since I already had a front STB stock.

I second what pacer said, I went with GMPP sways bars F+R, trailing arms, added a rear STB, new KYB struts with SSC lowering springs and new topplates, shorter dogbones and anti pogo washers....I know it sounds like a lot of work and money but damn, Im so glad and happy with the results I got compared to stock. I went from station wagon body roll to taking corners like a corvette!

I agree with all the above information but only have a couple of suggestions. Instead of getting the front GMPP sway bar, get the Dorman version since it is solid and the GMPP isnt. I would also order some poly front sway bar links.
