92 corolla - suspension upgrade

Hey all, as you might guess, I am a newbie. I have a 92 corolla with a 3 speed auto, dx i believe, I am looking to upgrade the suspension as it sucks badly, actually always sucked, and ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I would suggest sway/anti-roll bars front and back if they are available. I found out while driving today that I need to upgrade these in my AE92 badly. That's definitely the first thing I am going to do besides having good tires. After that in the order written:

-bushing kit
-springs and shocks
-light-weight larger-size rims with lower profile tires (don't go over 15x7.5")

I have no idea where to look for a sway bar for your car. I'm having enough trouble finding them for my car. There are lots of people here that own the same car as you so someone should know.

I am looking for what ever parts will enhance the ride quality of my corolla, my corolla has worst body roll of any car i have ever driven, when i make a turn, it feels like the car is gonna flip, i am not sure if anyone else has had this problem with their 92 corolla and found the best and cheapest solution for it, I am a newbie to suspension modifications, but I have some experience in engine modifications. Thanks
