Weight transfer and chassis stiffness are key. Subframe connectors will help as well as better control arms for the rear and quad shok delete. Firmer shocks in the rear and looser shocks in the front will help too. Really depends on your budget. If sky is the limit, go tubular everything and adjustable coilovers all the way around.
