Default del sol suspension advice

I have a problem... now that my b16 is boosted i find that my del sol (when its not spinnin wheel) is extra squirly and has rediculous body roll. I have tokico coilovers and skunk2 springs but obviously i need to do something else. any sudgestions? i was thinking big swaybars front and rear?

stock front bar
itr (22mm) rear bar with asr subframe brace

the car handled this way before it was boosted...kinda leads me to beleive youre just driving faster than you should be now

noooo.... i drive the speed limit.

all jokes aside.... it gets dangerously squirly under hard acceleration in third gear. i recently replaced the upper control arms and the tie rods might need replacement too. I dont know....but the **** gets scary when i hit third gear and the tires actually hook up!

if your talking about acceleration that sounds more like traction issues. y not get a traction bar.... and tires are the best mod you can make....

If you've got the Sol DOHC chassis (I'm assuming you're not running a swap), then moving up to an ITR rear sway will help. I had a stock Si setup on my Sol (21mm front, NO rear), and yep - that **** was ALL over the place.

The Eibach 17mm rear helped A LOT when I put in on first. After upping the front from stock to 26mm - this thing corners FLAT.

Yep, go w/pdiggitydogg's suggestion - but I'd also beef up your front sway when you get a chance.
