Default beefing up a 95 LS suspension

I have a 95 LS400 witout the airshocks and taking a hard turn at >50 causes it to really roll and want to come loose. What mods would i be looking at if wanted the handling of a porsche with the ride quality of a lexus (I know that is not a probable scenario.. but what is the closest to it?)

Default My 96 LS has teh same situation

It was very loose and float like a Cadilac before. After chnaged the front struts, it is a little bit better, but still floating when corning. Sometime, I get car sick when driving in mountain roads. I heard change sway bars or add strut bra will help. Don't know how much they will improve. I am still searching.

Sounds like the new active suspension in the prototype Benze would be perfect. But given a paractical approach, I don't think both worlds are obtainable yet. The JIC FLT-2A would give you an adjustable suspension at about $1,300.

The GS suspension forum has lots of discussion on suspension mods.
