The driver and sticky tires upgrade will make the biggest difference. Simple and easy ones are strut tower bars, Energy suspension bushings, bumpsteer kit, chassis braces, harness bar, etc ...

Take the Evolution Driving School to learn car control. Best money you will ever spend.

My suggestion is that you worry less about adding more frivolous mods and actually go out and learn to drive what you already have. You've already spent a lot of money on some nice stuff, but are you already an expert driver? Did you learn to maximize the stock suspension before doing all of this? If so, then have you gone and learned to maximize the new suspension? It takes quite a while to master it, and then once you've mastered, you'll already know what you need to improve it and won't have to ask this question...

Bigger front anti-sway bar and wider, stickier tires.

Agree with Warrtalon - go spend some $ on driving classes. Until you learn to get the most out of what you've already spent, you're not spending wisely.

A bigger front sway bar will cause you to understeer more.Good advice, guy.

There is nothing left except to improve your skills. your current setup is probably more than enough for your needs.
