Best thing you can do is ger Iroc Sways Front AND Rear, and rebuild suspension with Polybushings. Hell i am still running around on rubber factory junk and I can turn on a dime. I also have Iroc Sways. The rear 'Roc sway is the Front RS diameter. Seriously. The front is almost twice the thickness it seems.

not sure on how it will handle, but get springs for a 6 cyl, manual tranny, no a/c. those things are a good 5-7 inches shorter than one for an auto w/air

suspension tech. makes springs for our car. Or you could get spindles for the front and V8 springs for the rear.

Rebuild the front suspension with all new bushings; and for the most performance, use a polygraphite or polyurethane rebuild kit. Also, the center link and idler arm are common "wear items" on our cars; meaning; they wear out faster than the other parts (like tie rod ends), so you should probably replace those too.
