Not much you can do with a wagon, will take a lot of suspension changes, and will cost a fair bit of money (thousands).
I used to have an EL sedan, spend about $3000 on Whiteline suspension gear, made it handle great. Spent more than that again on the GT-P. A but good handling car can be used on roads legally, unlike a hugely powerful one.

Give me a look at your car and I can go over your options with you.

Not sure how much it helps, but there was a thread a while back with pics of a rear swaybar from a sedan being fitted on a wagon.

On my wagon, I have fitted S/Low King Springs with BOGE short stroke struts and a 30mm K Mac Sway Bar, and Urethane bushes in the front, and in the rear I fitted a Whiteline 24mm Sway Bar, and have 2.5" lowering blocks. I will be adding heavy duty shocks soon, as the current ones are stuffed.
For a wagon, it handles pretty good, considering the cart springs under the back, and can keep up easily with all the sedans etc. The wagon sits flatter than my old EB Sedan and has better turn in. There is a link to my build thread in my Sig. Cheers BenJ

Certainly did. The rear end behaved much better, and reduced a lot of weight transfer to the outside front while cornering.
Highly recommended. BenJ
