If your budget is less than $2000, then Koni Yellow shocks and Hotchkis front sway bar will do well. You might want to try a bar slightly less stiff than Hotchkis.

If your budget is higher, you might look at JRZ RS or RS Pro (which I have). Other good brands to think about are Motion Control and Ohlin.

Another tip on alignment. The front is non-adjustable on camber, but of course the car wants more. To address this, I would suggest loosening the upper control arm (a-arm) bolts with the car in the air, then lowering the car on the ground, then tightening the bolts while on the ground. This will take up any slop in the joint and possibly give you a little more camber. I never got to try this on my 370Z before selling, but on my nd miata, I gained about .2 degrees (more negative).
