Yeah it looks like you need to have at least a rear anti-sway bar added, and a stiffer strut setup. Maybe find the rear sway bar off of a gs, gst, and don't forget the lower control arms to mount the bar. I would go with a set of adjustable struts, such as tokico illuminas, or koni's. With the adjustables, you can set it stiffer at the track, and softer for street. If you don't have stiffer springs yet, get those too. I noticed when i put on my H&R sports, that nose dive was decreased when i hit the brakes hard..Well thats just a good basic starting point...And i'm no expert on auto-x, but you don't want too stiff of suspension, nor to sloppy. You still want some understeer and oversteer, but sway bars have a bigger role in that as does weight transfer..Suspension setups can get very complicated very fast..

If you are asking if you need them, YES.
