That's what I was referring to. Roll cage to tie together and prevent frame twist, then anti roll bar to prevent suspension twist. Obviously solid bushings to help stop suspension movement (and body bushings too, as you stated). I also prefer adjustable shocks for fine tuning. Some of this is referring to coil spring cars in general, (my Mustangs), while some of it is from previous A bodies, I have owned. (Monte Carlo, several Chevelles). These are my choices, others may have a different opinion.
