How to make a car move less when the wind hits it
Okay, so here is my situation. When my car is sitting in the turn lane and traffic is passing, it shakes from the wind created by passing cars. It also shakes when I'm driving and it's really windy. I need anti-sway bars and also some non-blown-out aftermarket shocks with eibach sportline coils. My question is, which parts will help me feel the reduction in wind turbulence the most? Will they both help greatly? My instinct is to go with the coils and shocks, but I almost want to just get it all. Boilermaker, I'm looking for your opinion on this one.

You can't do anything. A car or truck passing you is an aerodynamic disturbance. No part is going to fix that. I suppose if you could significantly increase the downforce you can keep the car sucked to the road, but you'd need a windtunnel and a few grand to figure that out.
The car weighs nothing by todays standards, so its going to swagger around.
Hold the wheel tighter.

You can either put huge holes on each side of the car, or just get used to the fact that your suspension is working
DONT take the rear seats, deck, and panels out! I took al of mine out to get my windows tinted and the wind took my car where ever it wanted to.
Anti-sway bars would be your first bet, but lowering it will also help
