Ignoring the already said driver mods,
Rear diff
Trailing link bushings
Front sway bar
Front lower control arm bushings.
That would be my path (though bushings are cheap enough that I might even do those first).
Front sway bar would be done during a clutch job if possible, I did it by itself and its quite the B*tch to do.

Hey guys,
I was just wondering what single modification has the best effects on handling for the Evo VIII/IX CT9A chassis? I currently have an MR, so I have the Bilstein struts, and I put some Swift Spec-R springs on it. I also have a set of Volks with Nitto Nt555 Tires on it. Everything else suspension-wise is stock.
What mod can I do that will have the biggest gain in handling for a weekend warrior street car?
Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the input. I just came back to this thread for the first time since I posted it a couple of days ago and was surprised to see how many people posted. I have kind of neglected this part of the forum and pretty much always focused on making my car faster... Can someone share me a link to update me on what the rear diff plate mod is? Thanks!

Rear diff was the best handling mod I made on my '03, followed closely by the Bilstein/Swift package (which the OP already has).
