Ill agree on what Spinner said. Also, If you have steering slop, you can get the rag joint eliminator for ~35 and make sure you have a good alignment (50$) with working tie rod ends. Make sure you have good tires too, they do a lot with handeling.

I got my bilstein HDs for $310 on ebay and some of the best SFC for $300 (ebay).
Those are good if you dont want to lower it.

Re: Suspenion upgrade

If you want better handling, far and away the best bang for the buck is ditching the stock 16X8 wheels and stepping up to the 17X9 with the stock SS 275/40-17 tires.

Beyond that I would go SFCs, shocks, sway bars.

I'm still using the stock springs with SLP take off shocks and pull almost 1G lateral with little more than full poly bushings and SFCs.
