Stock 16s and stock tire size for the car. (and their new tires) stock front shocks and springs. New rear spring and shocks. Over the summer I put new lca bushings in and end links all the way around. The rear is out of a ws6 trans am with 66,000 miles (does the ws6 weigh more the my stock rear) on it that I put in. I put the stock rear sway bar for the six cylinder back on the car. lol!!! yeah I got a 6er. my car is the y87 rpo package. Does this info help?

speed and angle of the turns are going to make any car fell like it`s tippin. you can change to koni`s with adjustable bound and rebound allowing the wheel to move more freely keeping in contact to the road youy may want to up grade your suspension with bigger sway bars and strut brace. the tires of 2day grip better than when your car was made. lca`s are good start but they main help control streight line accelaration.
