Thanks! And where might I aquire such item(s)? (now that I have the lower stress bars I'm in the modding mood)

you can get the GT3 bar and bushings from Sunset or Suncoast. you'll need a set of adjustable drop links; you can get those from me, Tarrett, or TRG. i use an H&R rear sway bar; it's available from ebay.

are we still talking AX or all performance driving including track days. and do all alignment shops understand a sporty set-up.

i would run staggered tires on a race track (i run 225/265). the sways are great for either, as is a performance alignment. not all shops understand what's required in a performance alignment, but if you give them the settings, any shop should be able to dial it in just fine.

So how about some settings both front & rear that would help me out at track days and not hurt me on the street. 02 S, factory wheels, summer tires.

sure; start with this:

front toe: 0.0
rear toe: 1/16" per side
front camber: -0.8deg
rear camber: -1.1 deg

that should be a nice start. if the tracks you run are tight and don't have many fast (>80 - 90mph) turns, you can go with zero toe in back.

I like insite's alignment suggestions. Very close to what I run for street and autocross use. The zero rear toe may be a bit much for some people, because it biases the car towards oversteer a bit. For more stability on throttle, run 1/8" total as he says.

I have insite's adjustable front sway bar links and I love them. They're the beefiest, best built links I've ever used and they haven't made a lick of noise in 500 miles of street driving.
