The simple answer is that all the suspension components on your car are 4 years older than your girlfriend's. Replace the shocks/struts, ball joints, and bushings, and you'll really see a difference. Also, tire type & pressure will also affect feel/handling (lower pressure, higher sidewalls=softer ride, mushy handling; high pressure, short sidewalls=harsher ride, crisper handling).

I've never driven a car w/the IPD sways, but they're very highly recommended to tighten up cornering, and if I ever have the extra cash I think I'll be getting a set.
