how to get flatter cornering WITHOUT lowering

I have an 04 X and I am just wondering if anyone has any suggestions about how to achieve flatter cornering attitude without lowering the car. I want to hit corners fast but I don't feel like worrying every time I enter or exit a driveway or drive downtown. Any suggestions would be appreciated; I was thinking of just doing stiffer sway bars but I know there are people on here who know a lot more than I do about these cars, so I came here for advice.

+1 on the sways. I also have the Stillen sways and I really like them.

I'm curious, I have an 06 X and it says these bars don't fit AWD models. If that's the case, the OP has an 04 X and these won't fit his car either. The couple of you that recommended them, can you confirm that they fit the X?

any rear sways should fit, but the front sway on the X is different than the rwd front sway

since the sway bars won't fit the X easily, would a strut tower brace alone help out much or do i really need both?

i heard the front sway on the x is beefier than the RWD sedan to compensate for larger weight, so you would not gain better handling with aftermarket front sway for the x (if it exists). So you will be fine with aftermarket rear sway, and front tower brace.

if you have a AWD G the front sways will not fit. i think its pointless just to put the rears.

i don't think it would be pointless to put the rears on if i do a front strut tower brace. the stb adds more rigidity than a sway bar really because of the closed box frame effect it creates.
