Default Elantra GT Suspension Quirks

As I posted in my introduction, I have an Elantra GT and have been searching for some performance gear for it. My most concern at the moment is the Suspencion. Specifically in handling. Although my GT does ride fairly well, in high, cross, winds it does not stand it's ground to well. I have owned other sports type cars and have never had such a problem as I do with this car. The current, stock, suspension has been inspected and I found no defects in it. So now I'm looks for possible solution. A couple that I have thought about are an Anti-Roll Sway Bar Kit by Eibach, or the like. Just used that one as an example. Other possibilities are Strut Tower Brace, and performance shocks and struts with gas dampners. Well that's all I got, if you could give some advice that'd be great. Thanks

welcome man,
you can get coilovers (adjustable ride height and dampening, but not all coilovers have dampening adjustment), also get the tib gt 19.2mm rear sway bar. i have the B&G coilovers and the tib bar. wow, throw it in a corner and no probs. 25mph on ramp at 60/65 (dry pavement and hot/warm air temps). you could also go with tib struts and tein springs. also which i had. liked them, but too low in trunk. for normal people who dont have 300+lbs of audio in car would not be affected by the ride height in the trunk.

Well, I myself have KYB GR2 struts and H&R sport springs, front/rear strut braces, and the stock tibby swaybar, I am very satisfied with the results.
