If you are not into replacing everything and going all out like certain other members(ahem justpete), I would start simple with strut/shock upgrades and sway bars.

Doing suspension a la carte might not be the most effective or economical, but if you don't want to fork out a ton of cash right away it is a great way to improve the handling and learn how different components impact handling.

Wheels and tires can make a huge difference. I would be inclined to do suspension mods first.

My suspension mods are bils hd's with oem sport springs, m3 front arms, sways front and rear, m3 sub bushings, shock mounts and front drop hats. It absolutely transformed the way my car went around corners. For a street canyon carver it is a perfect balance.

Adding just a front bar will sharpen turn in and will improve low(er) load handling, but I found the balance towards understeer too much. Keep in mind I have a staggered set up.
