You'd be amazed by the improvement a good set of tires will make. Something like the Kumho MX or Falken RT-615 will make a tremendous difference. Tire wear will go down the drain though.
A nice set of sway bars will probably be your next best bet.

LCAs and a UCA are good as well. Bye bye wheel hop. LCA relocation brackets help you get traction out of corners too. There are a lot of good suspension options besides lowering springs.

Well, this thread didnt help any! lol.
I'm back at square one because you guys basically named all of the parts I was thinking of.... Anyone want to list an advantage of a certain part? Thanks for your help... I've never really cared about suspension before so I'm new to this.

+1 on Tokico D-specs, they are great cause you can adjust your ride stiffness. You also might try an aftermarketrear sway bar and urethane bushings on the front and rear sway bars. Rear springs that lower an inch would be good also as that will make the car sit level and get rid of the stink bug look. If you haven't noticed the rear sits way higher than the front with stock springs. Steeda makes light springs that work really well for this application. It will give better handling without the lowered look and will not make it ride too hard.

There was a pretty good write-up by Crazy-AL if you hadn't seen it. Granted my knowledge is limited, so I'm sure others have hashed out the pro's and con's of it all.
