Recently I had my car at Sebring and the improvement in handling was so much better since my last track event.
Here's a couple ugly before shots...these are at Gainesville:

Here's a video of the car going through the corners above:

Since then, I've done the following:
changed to SC&C Tubular Uppers with taller ball joints
added front sway bar
added adjustable rear sway bar (relocated shocks to get the bar to fit)
---- Thanks to Marcus at SC&C for the suggestions on the above parts.
Removed traction bars - thanks to David Pozzi
Got a set of track wheels
Here's the after shots...below photo credits to www.photosbyjuha.com :
Turning corner 1 doing about 75mph

Another corner 1 shot...look how nice & flat it is

Still nice & flat

I'm finally happy with how the car handles. Took a while and a bit of money, but I'm so happy that I can turn corners without feeling like the door handles are scraping the ground.
