I would check the bushings from the tension arms to the subframe and to the control arms to make sure they aren't cracked.

Also, the cups where those bushings sit at the front of the subframe have a habit of breaking loose. If you can't source the repair kit down there in Costa Rica, you can just weld the cups back in place.

You are either drunk or you have a boosted SHO.

Either way you'll need more underwear.

Check the bushings and use OEM for tension rod; Moog TPR compresses and wears out, making things worse. SDPatt had a good post about comparing these a few weeks back and said it dramatically improved handling.
Get a good HD front Strut Tower Brace; Mine isn't boosted but it reduced torque steer notably and improved handling into and outa the twisties.
