or anything else you guys can suggest. thanks

I'd suggest a rear STB, adjustable shocks, and lightweight wheels/better tires.

The H&R Cup kit is a nice piece..

Have you had an alignment recently?

and next, I would try to even out your weight distrobution a little. Move the battery to the back, get a CF hood, or aluminum radiator etc...
