Best mod for autocrossing an Alero is a good driver (and good tires).

You can change the dampers but not the springs to still stay stock. But the car in the OP was already in ST. The braces will do that right there.

The bars make a significant difference! I can feel the rear just start to come around on mine sometimes. Though, keep in mind I have the lightest weight powertrain which may have an effect on that too..
