go to walmart, buy 200 toothbrushes, and 2 rolls of duct tape, then rig a front strutt bar.... or you could try this Steeda G-trac Bar - '79-'04 Ford Mustang


ps. i wish your sig pic wasnt in black and white cause the car looks pretty damn good

is it abnormally bad? or do you just want better handling?
If just better handling get some subframe connectors, lowering springs and some tires with a stiffer sidewall

Take it to a good alignment shop & tell them you want a good track alignment done.
Ask some of the guys in the auto crosser section. They should be able to recimend a good place & more details..

its not abnormally bad but highway on and off ramps would be more fun it it didnt push so bad.

would a rear swaybar help? i think the v6's didnt have them but i havent looked lol.

what would u recommend for a tire? i have continental somethings right now and they are ok but i can feel them roll pretty bad when turning.

yeah get a GT sway bar it will help a good bit, the subframe connectors are going to help the most. As for tires continentals are junk. I have nitto Neo Gens and they are a great tire. Bridgestone Potenzia SO-3 pole positions are great for handling run about 120 apiece
