How extreme do you want to go? What's your budget?

You can go from simple lowering springs and camber adjustments all the way to track builds with roll cages and stripped out vehicle for weight reduction.

Then stick to your sport suspension

Should do more than enough IMHO

haha you can dip in and out of lanes stock...I second Sam's questions...

1) how extreme do you want to go (drop w/ springs/coilovers or sway bars/etc)
2)how much do you want to spend

theres TONS of resources on here, just try not to be too broad and generic. if you've got a question, there are plenty of people to answer it

My suggestions: coilovers or lowering springs (depending on your budget), wider tires, front and rear sway bars, then under braces.

You'll be amazed at the difference.

1) Tires
2) a few track lessons (sometimes the best mod is to invest on the person behind the wheel)

You don't show a location but I can assure you that the stock suspension is just fine on the Washington DC beltway!

BTW - I wouldn't call it "dipping" ... mine certainly doesn't "dip".

Sways and springs or coils. Sways really made the most noticable difference for me.
