Lightweight wheel/tire setup. The stockers aren't particularly heavy for an OEM wheel but they're also far from light. A nice set of RPF1's which are about the lightest budget street wheel there is and as light of a tire as you can find would help reduce unsprung mass and improve both your acceleration and your ride quality. Anything else you can do to reduce unsprung mass (i.e. lighter brake setup) is also going to help. For some reason, a front strut brace also is reported to help. I'm not sure how exactly this works but it has something to do with reducing chassis flex so you feel the bumps less. I would think it would make things worse when you stiffen up the car but people report that it helps.
You could also try custom valved shocks but that isn't going to be cheap. I'm currently running a stock car and I am going to be doing the lightweight wheels and strut tower brace as soon as spring gets here.
