Reduce as much weight up front as possible to improve the weight distribution of the car.

Roller spring perches, Adjustable Strut Rods go a long way as well.

Can not recommend loudly enough tcp supframe connectors and their "x cage". Also very little is more important to your handling than the rubber holding you on the road. I went with the biggest sway bars front and rear I could find, added the subframes mentioned above, kyb (cheap and pretty good) shocks, 620 springs, 5 leaf rear springs, 245 60 15 Kuhmo 712's, a 6 point roll bar and the difference is night and day. You can definately go more expensive and get a better set up, but what I've got is clearly enjoyable.

I also threw in a flaming river steering box and power steering delete. I'm very happy.
