Subframe connectors will help eliminate body flex. A strut tower brace, especially a 3 point design, will keep the shock towers square to the body.

Mine does the same thing. How much are subframe connectors and how hard are they to install? Thanks.

The subframes are generally around 250 and have to be welded in, but they do offer bolt in.
I'm thinking of getting Global West subframes and lower control arms myself.

While sfc's and a 3pt strut tower brace and new suspension bushings will help keep the flex under control and help a LOT, don't think your car will be without squeaks. I have all three of the above upgrades, and my car squeaks more than I'd like it to. Probably a lot less than with out the pieces, but it still not anything like a new car (or slightly used one).
I'd recommend putting on the pieces, just don't expect too much.
