but i live up in the mountains and there are well more windy roads up here than i can count on all my toes and fingers, took my car out for its first real drive yesterday and it just has a lil more body roll than my MSprotege did with the tokicos and racing beat sways and springs. not a huge deal but i feel her *** gettin jiggly around some tight corners...or maybe its just me getting use to driving a RWD car again.
input please

A lot of people say you shouldn't, but I put in sways and strut tower braces before I did shocks and springs. The sways to me made a significant difference in cornering stability by themselves - a much more significant impact than the strut bars.
If you're looking to completely cure that "*** gettin jiggly" feel though, shocks will eventually become a must.
