Better shocks, like Koni STR.T or Billsteins, Strano 35/22mm hollow sways (or SS sways if you are on a budget, I am selling a set, btw!) -- these alone or together will make a big difference in how the car handles.

You can also get a lot of ideas here:

I can suggest mods all day but not knowing your budget makes it difficult. On the cheaper end though swap your diff to something suited to your driving style and poly bushings will improve handling.

There are many places you do NOT want poly. About the only place it's ok is in sway bar end links & body mounts. Poly also transfers vibrations a lot more than rubber -- keep that in mind.

best bang for your buck would be to have it tuned for your mods. not sure if solomon LT1 PCM Tuning - Welcome! or pcmforless Home | PCM for Less does your year. have a look.

Another for the list, get a functional Ultra-Z style ram air hood, ensure the holes line up with your airbox inlet and you will have a nice boost at decent speeds.
