Get a rear sway bar then front strut bar. You can definitely feel the RSB make your car corner a lot flatter.

Go to ebay and get a Bombz strut bar. It's cheap and does the job

i'm saving up $400 myself, for suspension - shocks and struts. you get two mods in one: a performance mod (better cornering, more control) and a cosmetic mod (lowered look, sleeker and non-stock-looking). can't beat that!
