Well, I think you have a good start but your missing a couple key needs for pulling some G's in a Saab.
1) Get you alignment done. This is one of the cheapest and most significant "performance upgrades" that can be done. Dial in as much caster as you can and add some (.5 to 3 degrees depending upon how hard core you think you are) toe out and you'll be amazed at the difference.
2) As far as sway bars and such. In any car you want to stiffen up the non-driven wheels as much as possible. In a FWD car that will induce some overseer. I would get a rear sway bar and strut tower brace and maybe some frame reinforcement and get an adjustable strut tower bar for the front. That way you get tighten up the front to help balance out your car.
3) LSD: If you have the money pout one it... amazing upgrade.
4) Seat time, Seat time, Seat time. If you have a local autoX club or track club get into once of their HPDE classes before you get yourself into trouble. Their is more to driving than just modifying the car and turning the steering wheel.
