That's why I'm saving up for GOOD coilovers (read: tein or ohlins) with the maximum amount of adjustability.
I don't have too many handling "issues" it's just a matter of grabbing seconds here and there on the track with some fine tuning, hence why I like to have control over as many suspension parts as possible.

At least I'm patient, as suspension parts seem to be even slower than performance parts for this car. I'd entertained the idea of getting the progress sway bar, but I just can't justify buying something twice since adjustable is what I really want.

I just got the progress bar today and from the looks of the instructions it looks like we can have both. It appears that the T/F brace would attach underneath the progress one or they might bolt into different holes. If I had my Coey with my instead of in the shop then I could tell you better.

You guys who have the sway bar know better then me but I just don't get how it makes that big of a difference 
, the rear axle ( or what ever it's called today ) is a welded unit. How does installing a bar that runs along the back of the axle keep the car from swaying , please inform me so I can better understand the thinking here. Thanks

Good news you can install both bars but BE CAREFUL WHEN TIGHTENING THE PROGRESS BOLTS YOU CAN CROSS THREAD AND SNAP THE WELD HOLDING THE NUT ON I did it last night and had to go buy a bolt cutter today and I'm gonna try it out and see how they fit then I can make my progress how-to.

...not important but I test drove an ss s/c today, the suspension was alot more spongey and loose then I thought it would be...the engine and the shifter were top notch i thought....
the rear sway bar would definitely help (i upgraded both bars on my cavalier) but I think the struts and springs are just too soft altogether....if you install the rear sway without lowering with stronger struts you prolly won't notice that much better handling...in my opinion anyways...
