Springs + shocks + strut tower and subframes. My car handles nicely.

+1

I think my control arms have made the "ride" much rougher over bumps.

maybe upgrade the fox control arms to the newer sn95 type, but other then that just new springs and shocks. add subframes just so you can live with it, but im guessing they will make the ride much stiffer and jarring over bumps too? im unsure.

summit tubular setup http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SU...0R-W/?rtype=10
Just put these on a buddys car and it rides better then stock which could be because the bushings are new and not worn to hell like the stock rubbers.
