Default Advice on cleaning up my sloppy frontend!

Ok well after i got my bswap i think the douche of a mechanic who did it forgot to put my front strut tower brace on (egay).

Anyway, with the turbo and the bswap the front end is sloppy as all hell. WHen i come into a corner at speed it feels like im gonna keep going straight on thru...

My currecnt Suspension is as follows (on 250/45/16):

KYB AGX Struts (setting '2')
Ground Control Coils - shelf stiffness
Ground Control Upper Mounts
Rear egay Strut Brace
Suspension Techniques Front and Rear Swaybars

Ok, now here is what im trying to do to reduce the sloppy jaloppy ness of the frontend:
Koni Yellow
Get new GC sleeves for konis
Throw on some stiffer GC springs (550f/650r too stiff for DD? Also can f/r springs be swapped?)
Password JDM 3pt front brace

----

I think the added weight just is too much for the current suspension which is all design around the stock dseries. The swaybars are pretty big so i dont think they need upgrading... and im gonna keep the GC upper mounts cause more shock travel never hurt!

think the listed upgrades will stiffen the front up? Ideas for improving these plans? Suggestions?

Thanks!

A strut tower bar make a HUGE difference in the front!
Also, a bigger sway in the front helps if you have a non-si civic. Tegs are a bit better in the lower models.

yea i must admit i thought strut tower braces were bs until i got my swap back WITHOUT the brace!

But oh well, i figure 3pt passjdm is mor supportive than 2pt egay anyway!
