Default seriously need help with this

Well i just about got enough money for my rims n tire packege im gettin bf goodrich g force kdw 1 or 2's .. I have a question though i also want to get hotchkis springs with a trd rear sway for better handling. But right now I switched my front tires to back since the were about bald and i was goin up the mountain the other day and hittin sharp turns on the mountain on bumps in the turn it felt like the back end was really stiff and wanted to bump off the road on bumps, that would be my tires right, and dont worry i wasnt pushin it hard since bald tires are dangerous, but when i get new tires if i get the sway and springs will the ride be crappy and want to go off the road worse on bumps, also goin down the mountain and breaking for sharp turns the car felt very uneven and didnt stop great whisch i didnt like i just hope with springs n a sway its a dramatic increase in handling on all rods.

Springs & sway will improve your handling but nothing helps more than a good set of tires. Make sure you take care of your new ones with a good alignment and rotation every 5K miles. Sounds like you didn't rotate your old ones ...

^^ X2. You should make a practice of rotating every oil change.

Springs and sway will make a big difference.
