Default bumpsteer

I have a v6 06 and I used to have an 01 sts that would handle very well. I know it is a rough comparison and I would think the mustang would have an edge in terms of handling, but going around corners at highspeeds if I hit a bump or something in the road my steering wheel loses control for a split second, I think this is called bump steer. What can I do to stop this from happening... realistically and inexpensively... or atleast an explanation...

steeda bumpsteer kit $160. It corrects the geometry of the rack and pinion steering rods connecting to the spindles on a lowered car.

you might want to look at some strut options if you dont want to lower your car, but if you are only concerned about ride quality (and not right height) i have heard really good things about vogland springs lately

its not even ride quality i dont care if its bumpy or not, i want my car to handle better and losing control of steering over a bump around a corner is not okay with me. if i have to lower it i will but doesnt lowering a car cause a lot of other problems such as accelerated tire wear? i just want to improve the handling as inexpensively as possible
