Default Handling

I am about to buy the polyurathane front end kit from PST and i was wondering if anyone is already running them and how they work. i have done polyurethane bushings on a few cars before and it was night and day difference. It handles pretty good, but is still body rolling a little. JC Whitney has a rear swaybar for about $200, anybody tried a rear sway bar? different springs?

i had some front coilovers made, they help alot, only put them up front, but you can get them for the rears as well. this place custom makes them incase you have modified something.

Sounds pretty cool, even theAWD or do you have to get rid of that? That would be an awesome autocross truck, which is what i am planing to do with mine here in the near future(autocross not wrx thing).
