2x new tires- filled to, say 35lbs
I currently have over 40 lbs in the front and 35 on the rear tires (2-doors sedan). Especially the front tire pressure greatly affects the handling. Play around with the pressure a bit, so you find the right (?!) balance between oversteer and understeer.
Or should I go for 195x75x15?
No, stick with 195x70, it's already a higher tire then the stock one. (might want to go 195x65 if available). Going even higher will only increase tire instability.
Have the front end aligned
Definitely. Might want to read over this article
Take everything extra (junk, spare tire, etc.)out of the car
Not the first priority I'd say. Imo, a spare tire and the such should be part of the car.
I guess I'll reinstall the bigger front sway bar
Definitely. Period.
I'll look into having a set of wheels widened.
Widening by putting a new rim onto the center is the way to go. Not by welding in a 'spacer' that affects offset.
Also, again check the whole suspension for wear, play, funky rubbers etc. And check them shocks. I cannot recommend a certain shock to you, but just be very sure that the ones you use are in good shape.
btw. the amazon just ain't no race car:

Cheers, Ben
