Firming up the xa

Firming up the xa
I got the hos shock tower brace and rear sway bar. It has made some difference, however its still flexing and swaying when taking corners as the road weaves doing 90 down the interstate from a mid left to right or vice versa. I was looking at some other posts and was wondering about a few different products.
tan front brace http://www.optionsauto.com/prodinfo....er=TNB-TUB099F
The front brace looks pretty straight forward and bolts on, however I am a bit concerned about the rear one. http://www.optionsauto.com/prodinfo....er=TNB-TUB099R
Appears that it goes in place or with the sway bar as it looks like it bolts to the car by the gas tank area then the rear swing axles. Is that correct? How will this effect speed bump travel and a hos sway bar?
Also been looking at the xb frame braces. http://www.optionsauto.com/prodinfo....er=TP-14013201 and http://www.optionsauto.com/prodinfo....er=TP-14013200
Ive read about a trd brace, however a google search just turns out reviews about the scion xa. Thanks for any help. Maybe I need a wing vs bracing for highway use?

Thanks Keith, that looks nice.
Maybe I am thinking of something else, but the sway bar I bought seems a bit disconnected. I mean the rear sway bar on my mercedes mounts to the bottom of the trunk with two 2 mounts and connects to the axle ends by 2 small links. This way it allows the whole two wheels to move up and down together for a speed bump, but if they moved diferently, it cause the rear of the car to move some and limited their motion. This sway bar for the scion just mounts to the botom of each axle end and no pivot point to the bottom of the car.

I have the Hotchkis strut tower brace https://www.scionlife.com/parts/?part=10125
and TRD springs - that alone was a night & day difference from stock. I'm patiently waiting for my struts to wear out to justify getting the TRD set.
