Default Suspension Problems

My Trans Am has 78000 on it and i think the stock shocks, anyways when i accel hard the car feels loose but i know it isnt breaking loose, so rear shocks right, and i also have a alot of front end dive, so fronts, I ordered the bilsteins from speedinc. and i was wondering if anyone knows if this will correct the problems or should i also get bigger sway bars? I got the shocks so i could get my car from AZ to MN, then i am getting coil overs later...but need inout please...

Shocks will help huge, but you should have at least done a search first. The Bilstien HDs are better than stock, but still not that great.
Swaybars will also greatly help with drive and body roll.

What coil overs do you plan on getting?
