Lately I've been noticing my car's handling seems to suffering. The rear is riding rather harsh. The car doesn't feel very bouncy, but it does lean and sway quite bit in turns. When taking highway on and off ramps, my car handles them pretty well and sticks, but the steering feels loose and on tiny bumps I get quite bit more bump steer and swaying. My car still handles better than most, but it just doesn't feel right for everything I've done like strut bars, sway bar, and springs. I guess it's mostly related to the stock struts and shocks. My car has 58K miles.

mmmmmmm,, porkchops... sounds like springs

or you have just gotten used to the ride so it doesn't feel as stiff as it used to be.

Get yourself some Eibachs and Konis, or Cattman coilovers.

Just get out a blowtorch, heat those springs, and throw in some BBQ sauce for those porkchops! ;-)
