decent front/rear ARBs and proper rear coilovers, cage, lighter wheels, lighter brakes, better tyres, quaife diff, then have it set up (corner weighted and camber/castor adjusted)

have you got the standard front ARB, or a thicker one?

some people say to take it off, but I preferred mine with one...

rear coilovers mean you can have it corner weighted - http://www.grmotorsports.com/news/012005/understanding-corner-weights.php - and then set up better

lighter wheels and brakes means less unsprung weight, so there's less to 'bounce' and less to turn.

better tyres, what have you got at the moment?

toyo px4's (new version of the t1r) my front arb is rather chunky......think its the same as a gsi one (26mm??)

appparently, the weight of wheels/ brakes is multiplied x10 whilst rotating, so i can see how that helps...

still dont fnacy rear coilover units yet tho lol

GSi ARB is 22mm IIRC, I had a 24mm one, it was good, but like I say, some people reckon it's better without one.

apparently it makes the car turn in better and understeer less, but mine did the opposite
