Default Speeding Death trap

So what kind of things would i have to put into my car to have a better suspension/handling. Im not so much talking about taking turns at higher speeds, but more interested in a smoother ride. Right now, its almost scary to go fast because the car doesnt feel like its stable. I just want a smoother ride, and maybe better handling.

you can upgrade the shocks and struts, put in a rear sway bar, strut tower brace, subframes, lowering springs (if you don't have them). all i can think of

Get a Crown Vic. LOL. It's a sports car man, it ain't supposed to ride pretty. Get a GT rear swasy bar and at least give it some better manners.

a rear sway bar helps to prevent body roll and overall helps you keep better control of your pony, thus it helps with its manners

I really do wanna drop it, but im scared as is when the body kit gets on about scrappin it. But about how much should the rear sway bar cost, and is it a home instalation kinda thing?
