Default Stiffer steering...more similar to IS series

Hey guys I recently purchased an 04 SC430 for my wife and I drive an 07 IS. The IS has the X package which might attribute to some of this but the IS just drives sportier. Dont get me wrong the SC will smoke the IS in every way possible (especially if you have a 250 like me) but its missing that stiffer steering where you feel like your "hugging corners".

What mods can I do in order to achieve this...the only thing I can think of is sway bars....any imput? also do the Fsport sway bars fit on the SC or does anyone know good aftermarket parts for this?

get coilovers. handles better then the IS after doing soo. coming from an IS IMO it rides better too. I'm running megan LP coilovers..

sway bars would help greatly too. just like how badly the IS needed sway bars

Sway bars alone make a bigger difference then just coilovers. Of course both if you can, otherwise just get the sway bars.
