I went for a long driver after install and I my answer would be yes, but to much less of a degree than the overall improvement the front subframe/shock tower braces made. I can feel that the rear feels more "solid" over rough pavement but outside of that I don't notice anything else. I would be happy with less flex and reduced NVH if nothing else.

It sounds like some sensor starts sending bad readings once it warms up. That kind of thing is always a pain to troubleshoot but maybe get it hot and try unplugging things and see what has no effect on how it runs?
Also consider pulling the ECU and opening it up. I know absolutely nothing about those cars but in Toyotas from that era the capacitors have started to leak or dry out due to age and cause problems for people.

Good idea, the car may have an exhaust leak, i think disconnecting the o2 sensors would be first.
Although it feels like a misfire more than all consistent bad ignition.
If its the ECU im getting fire insurance and you guys will see it on the news.

Man, this brought back memories.
My dad's first car upon moving to Canada was a 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix which was pretty much the sister car to this.
Same V6 engine as well, which I did a ton of wrenching on when I was younger. Was always bemused at how slow it was for such displacement (~140hp stock I believe?)

Those 260hp V6 buicks in the late 90s 2000s were amazing when eg civics had like 100hp and accords 140.

I installed an upgraded Progress Tech rear sway bar today. The install was easy and straightforward as many RSB installs are. You can see how thin the factory RSB (black) is compared to the Progress one. What was surprising was how much flex the stock RSB has vs the new one, which has little to none.

Is a front sway bar upgrade also in the plans?
If you are only doing the rear bar, I'd be concerned about making the car too tail happy.

Try doing the front 
On my MS3, doing the front means dropping the front subframe. Not sure if that's the case with a ND.

Yes to both! The Progress kit comes with front and rear sways. I watched all the FSB installs on YouTube and realized the front sway bar install is way more work than I would like to do myself so it's getting installed by a shop on Monday.
