Re: handling
springs, stb, sway bars, better braking setup..lots of things, it comes down to what part of your handling you want improved..and $200 is pretty low limit..stb's and springs are about all you can get for that..and sometimes not even that due to quality bringing higher prices.. :(

Re: handling
The best suspension upgrade you can buy is a thicker swaybar. If you do just one, upgrade the rear.

Re: handling
Upgrading the rear swaybar is the best bang for the buck. If one's available for your car...
*Looks at your profile. So you have a 98 Grand Am with a 3.4L? Unless you swapped the engine, I think you better check your engine/year. The pfyc.com has front and rear sway bars for the 99+ GA, but I don't know where to get them for a 95-98.

Re: handling
92-98 GAs shared the same front swaybar and an aftermarket one is available from Addco (although they're unaware of the compatibility between 92-94 to 95-98). The rear suspension changed in 95 and Addco didn't bother to update their 25mm, 92-94 one to fit. It can be made to fit if your handy enough and I hope to tackle this eventually.
Oddly enough GM has a partnumber for a 19mm rear swaybar that fits 92-98 GAs but it seems to be out of production. I've been tempted to try and order one from a dealership and have them install it to see what happens but was afraid of what they might charge me if it was successful.
