Yes, the suspension setup you mentioned will work. You've got some waste there in light of your expressed goal of reducing lean in turns. I'd forego the front strut stress bar--it's pretty useless for any purpose except turns at the limit on the racetrack. I'd spend the money saved on the piece on new sway bars. Call Maximilian Imports and get their M5 swaybar kit. It comes complete with the weld-on brackets (you'll need these). With this improvement alone you'll notice one helluva reduction on body roll. As far as the HDs, don't worry about them, they're okay. You'll have a nicer street ride (by a little bit) than you do with the sports. I've done all these mods and I know what I'm talking about. You might try moving the battery to the trunk for better turn-in. This is much, much more effective than the strut bar, which I have as well.
