Anyone have any tips on suspension tweaks, tires and chassis upgrades?

Ive run my 99 mustang in autocross four of five times this year(STX). Im dealing with a stock v6 with gt 245/45/17s and new bilsteins. Still pushes like mad! Ive talked to alot of people and maxing negative camber on the front end(via maxing stock allignment or max motorsport caster camber plates) and a stiffer rear sway bar should make a big difference.

I also read a post recently that a super stiff front bar will help keep the negative camber you need to pivot in the corners but Im not sure i believe it though.

Mine is a daily driver and im broke so Im gonna max out the negative camber on my next allignment-this weekend and install a GT bar on the back.

Id appreciate any advise from the forum at large as to setup too!

Ill let you know how it goes.
