so if checking air pressures and bushings aren't the cure, I'd recommend the larger front sway bar. Then try some wider rear tires that are more performance oriented. The Conti touring tires are not the stickiest. They are for long life, higher mileage, freeway use. You want something that you could autocross with :) JK. (if you are concerned about cornering).

Lastly, consider dumping more labor$$$ into reinstalling the Bilsteins using the original springs (assuming the springs are in decent condition). Did you check your rear springs? Those seem the first to sag on the e-23's, especially with the manual transmission models (I know the L7 has the auto).

good luck!
