Front sway bar should be the first thing. Car will transfer weight so much better.

allright thanks colonel, Ii have seen your posts about weight reduction, I was also wondering how much weight do you think I can remove by replacing all of those suspension parts?

Depends on if you just replace stuff. By only replacing stuff (not removing anything that you don't replace) you're only looking at about 40-45 pounds.
