+ 1 on sway bars. they are made to do exactly what you are looking for, stiffen the car to lateral roll without affecting spring rate or shock bound/rebound. as said before though, you'll want some stickier tires because that lateral energy has to go somewhere.

Ehhh I don't get any 90s Caddy or Buick feel out of my stock suspension But I suppose it's more like a Caddy or Buick than say the performance pack suspension or modified suspension.

I like the stock suspension a lot actually. Feels good going through corners, but doesn't obliterate my kidneys driving through downtown Atlanta.

You never get something for nothing. When you stiffen the suspension and lessen the body roll, the ride becomes harsher. I'm perfectly happy with the stock suspension on my 16 GT Premium with no Track Pack. I went to 20" wheels, Drag 37 black chrome 9" wide, and 255/35 x 20 Continental ExtremeContact DW tires. I hardly detect much body roll and the taunt stock suspension with the wheels & tires is fine for this ole geezer.
