Time for some suspension mods??

ok...so im playin around with this new acura 3.2TL u know...those classy lookin ones. we are on a twisty (busy) road at night and he is ahead...(we arent racing, just playin around) i see him brake relatively hard and make a slight left. in my head im thinking (pu$$y). ONLY i have never been down this road before...im sure he has. (i just moved here). so i make the turn at 60 or so and WOW THIS IS A BIG TURN. all of a sudden....eeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. i go spinning.....did about 3/4 or a turn.....passenger side facing oncoming traffic...that goes around the same blind turn i did. i see headlights....but thankfully they are comin slow. i have to reverse, then d, then r, then d to get back the same direction. i then slam it and am gone b4 i can see anyone laugh at me. Now...my gf starts cryin cuz im crazy and i am laughing....i wasnt scared...i could feel the car.....it was goin slow. anyways....this is a primarily drag car, but i want it to handle too. No suspension mods to date...(not even new shocks/struts)which i need very badly.
Gimme a full setup if you will, of what could make this baby launch on the strip and hang in the turns (i need new tires too) thanks guys.

There are many many things you could do. First get a front end rebuild kit and upgrade to polyurathane(sp?) bushing. You could upgrade the shocks and struts like you said. For the front you could get a STB, then there are SCF's, panhard rod, LCA's, then you could get a spring kit that would stiffen it up a little and maybe drop the ride an inch or so which would help with the lower center of gravity. Am I missing anything?
