replace the bushings that provide up/down support(rucas, rear toe rods, upper strut mounts, etc.) with spherical bearings.

in all cases these are good.
-Nismo power brace
-strut tower braces
-trunk brace
-fender brraces

good luck.
I've have/had urethane bushings in the suspension
they do stiffen up the car quite a bit
but I don't really like the way the suspension works after
spherical bushings and quality joints is what I plan to do down the line.
