what kind of tire are you running? a315 shouldnt have any problems hooking assuming its a good tire.

upper and lower control arms is a good place to start. some good shocks/struts would be next

upper n lower control arms should help a bit n if you really want to spend the money for it tokico makes an electrically adjustable suspension where you can stiffen it up just when you need to grip n soften it for amazing handling... good luck tho
