What else is there for suspension?

I installed the sway and strut bars and I am getting the springs and struts soon.

What else can I change to tighten up my suspension?

What type of tires and Rims are you running? If you really want to get serious, go with a good set of coil overs and find a suspension shop to do a corner weight set up. Also add the front and rear camber adjusters to give yourself more flexabilty on suspension set up.

If you already have comptech Springs, go get yourself a good set of adjustable struts. I personally like the Tokico Illuminas. World of difference and it gives you flexability on how stiff you want to set up your car.

Coilovers are struts with springs that have an adjustable perch. You can raise or lower the car by moving a threaded perch. Most of the people don't set them up properly for handling and use them for looks. Advantage to coilovers is that it gives you a ton of adjustment options if you're willing to spend the time. The threaded perch for most people is just a height adjustment. Good shops can do corner weight adjustments by adjusting the perches. They will stick a scale under each wheel and adjust until each tire has a relatively close weight so all tires apply even pressure. This is standard procedure for the Porche's. You can also vary springs easily and even stack multiple springs on the same stack to give you a progressive setup.

Anything is possible. Depends on how far you want to take it.
