i put on some basic Eibach springs and a nice lightweight 15" performance wheel/tire package and the difference was night and day. The stock tires are so bad it's unreal. Just changing the tires to high perfomance summers will make a huge difference.

i did an alignment soon after i got the car. i got the smallest camber bolts from toyota, and rear shims from spc. i set it up for zero toe and max camber up front and just a hint of toe in and a little additional camber in the rear. the car drove 100x better.

Tokico will have the HTS adjustable shocks out within the next month or so (as I' told), so that would be another option available to you if you wanted to wait a little longer.

That is great news, it really seems the shock options we have now are the limiting factor.
