SUSPENSION QUESTION
I have a 96 SE. Great car, but rides "Boaty" Which "H" body models, if any, would have stiffer factory sway bars than what I have now? Or are they all pretty much the same? I would imagine the Pontiacs would be more performance oriented than the Buicks. I don't know about the Oldsmobiles, though.

I recently swaped in the larger springs and the swaybars into my car
here is some pics
left is the FE1 right is the FE2
JLD is the FE2 JLB is the FE1
FE2 on left FE1 on right
now please KEEP IN MIND that the FE2 was desinged to work with the ELC system....i suggest that if you do the FE2 swap that you get rear assist struts and you convert the car to manual ELC

the FE2 is gonna be rare in the Parks...i would say only the Ultras are gonna have the FE2.....you need to check the RPO sticker if available.....
also some of the Parks have the 34mm front sway as apposed to the regular 32mm FE2....
