first off, if u haven't allready, lower the car w/ springs or adjustable springs from a reputable aftermarket producer. next would be struts / shocks w/ a short body casing to control the stiffer spring rates. next get a stiffer rear anti-sway bar. stiffening up the chassis would help as well. strut brace bars and underbody bracing do wonders to calm a car prone to twisting and wallowing. get wider tires and taller wheels (but try not to change the overall rolling circumferancec too much from stock). 225/40zr18 on 18x7.5 or even 225/45zr17 on 17x7.5 will make ur car feel like it's on rails.

agreed, with relax.. get less on your tire wall.. helps aswell.. stops a bit of the roll, ive got a vr4, and feel im more in control of the car in bucket seats.. without them, you cant get into the "groove" with the surroundings
Best thing you can do is change your wheels and get high performance low profile tires. Everything else is secondary if you are still on stock tires and rims. Then as Reelax said, other suspension upgrades will greatly enhance the handling much further.
