Default Handling help, please

So i only have a little bit of money for suspension mods this year but i would like to do something to help the car take the corners a little better, unfotunately i cant lower the car yet until I can get my driveway entrance fixed/changed so im thinking either shocks/struts w/stock springs or front and rear sway bar kit. my question is which one of these would give me better handling results
thanks for all your help and answers.

I'd do the shocks and struts... They will have a bigger more profound effect on how the car behaves all the time. It'll ride better, be more planted and secure feeling too. Roll and pitch slower as well (enough that folks often think shocks/struts make the car roll and pitch less which is not the case).

And if you want to know which ones... what's quickly become my most recommend set of dampers... Koni STR.T @ $318.08 a set. Can't beat the value for a name-brand, lifetime warranty setup and they have really good valving too.

Sam - Would the Steeda Ultralites work well with the Koni STR.Ts? Thanks.

Ultralites and STR.T's work well too. I like the Sports for most situations a little better, but they are similar. Ultralites are a little lower and just a touch firmer.
