Suspension help? (long...)

I have an '85 900 Turbo 16v. It's running the original shocks and springs. I've noticed that it is really soft and doesn't corner very well. I've decided to replace the shocks and get some lowering springs in hopes of making the car respond a little better in the corners. I by no means race and my car is currently totally stock (no mods whatsoever). I ordered some Bilstein shocks and Intrax lowering springs but my mechanic (specializes in Saab and Volvo) convinced me to return the Bilstein (too pricy for a non-racer) in favor of KYB adjustables. He also urges me not to lower the car because "it can cause problems", but I'm ignoring his advice on that one. So here are my questions, keeping in mind that I don't "track" the car nor do I race in any way. I'd rather lean toward performance than comfort, but I don't want to forgo comfort altogether: will lowering the car with Intrax sport lowering springs (model 68.1.003) potentially hurt the car any? Should I replace the shock bushings w/ poly or just OEM ones? Does my model have sway bars? If no, would they help me? Thanks in advance!
