Well, I took the LX out on a decent roadtrip yesterday, some of the freeways were pretty dang shoddy and the cars rearend was bouncing all over the place.

My girlfriend was getting all scared thinking the car was going to bounce into the other lane. I simply told her "its a pony car, these things dont ride as nice as a passenger car", but she had a good point, these things tend to get squirrelly on the freeways. I have the stock shocks/springs/struts on the car right now (they are in extremely good shape though, not worn out at all)

I know a light car + stiff springs/shocks produce this, but is there any way to help the stability a little?

What's your budget?

The stocks shocks (even in good shape) are junk. Good aftermarket ones like Tokicos, Konis, or Bilsteins will help. You do still have your quads on too right?

A panhard bar, LCAs, new bushings will all help too.

All depends on how much you want to spend.
