Default Sport Shocks

Would changing the OEM shocks to sport shocks improve the handling as in less body roll etc., or are they just to absorb the bumps?

Yes, it will improve the handling. I would change the springs while its apart.

Default Sway bars..>>

Have the most impact on body roll (that's why their technical name is "Anti Roll bar").

New (and better) shocks like Bilsteins or konis will slow the roll somewhat and result in much better handling and wheel control.

Do both.

Default Fresh air of course!.....>>

Scoop in the grill to the intake area, custom insulated enclosure, Big A$$ Halltech intake. Works good (bout 15hp worth)!
