Default Next suspension mod??

I have a 99 civic hatch with:
Tein Basic Dampers
SRR Rear Sway / Tie Bar Combo
Falken Azenis Sport Tires (soon)
what should be my next suspension mod? I havent bolted the sway/tie bar up yet (just got it today) but, as of right now my car handles ok but, i would like it to "turn" more in the corners instead of just drive straight, which is understeer right??

i want to keep it kinda mild. i dont need a super racing spec suspension or anything. i just want it to feel like a nice sports car from the factory should feel.

thanks
chris

Have you been to a driving school yet?

Wait until you have the swaybar on before you get anything else and drive it for awhile.

Start thinkin about an LSD.

An alignment can really change the feel of the car. Start with 0 toe on the rear, and the tiniest bit of toe out on the front, like 1/16" or so. The toe out in the front will really help turn-in. For the street, I wouldn't use any toe out in the rear, especially with that rear bar.
