My GT has a lot of body roll, it occurs even when turning slightly. On several occassions the rear has broke loose because of the weight transfer. What are some good parts can I buy to make it go away. Also I have a lot of ground clearance can anyone help me out?

First off... the rear-end of a FWD car can't break out/loose or whatever unless you're yanking on the e-brake. Body roll is due to soft suspension parts... If you're at stock height, worn out shocks can cause increased body roll. I don't reccomend putting money into sway bars unless you're gonna race your car every now and then... as in going to the track and running autoX (not street racing). Lower springs will help... but they're not the problem. The shocks are the problem. Bushings can also be a culprit... but they usually don't completely change a car's handling characteristics when they go bad. Strut bars are mostly to look pretty... cause unless you're gonna race (like mentione above)... they don't help much. That's about it...
