a front or rear sway bar, or both would increase handling quite a bit. also a subframe brace in the back if you do get a rear bar.

Yea... so you can get camber kits to dial in a bit more camber, but you'll sacrafice your tire's life for better handling, pretty much. you can also get new wheels/tires if you haven't already. A COMPLETE suspension system utilizes a good set of wheels/rubber. Remember, you have 4 contact points not even as large as a pieces of paper on the road, controlling a moving mass of 2300 lbs or so.

for the dragstrip, I have no idea at all why you want to upgrade your sway bar. or mess with more camber. If you want faster drag, upgrade motor mounts, short shifter, clutch/flywheel, lighter everything. And practice launching/ET/60ft.
