d. Tires tend to slip a lot when in full wheel turn and accelerating out of a corner even when not in sport mode. - id like to reduce this. but still be able to "powerslide" and have fun at times.
e. least important - more nimble turns? but im pretty o.k. with how it turns now.

a. Then I would recommend upgrading the pads to better performance pads like Hawk, Project Mu, StopTech or other brands. I myself use Winmax and love it every min of it, but if you search around, you'll see threads after threads on those topic.
b. There are several dozen way to accelerate faster. Weight reduction (shaving weight, cf parts), engine power-up (bolt on), more grip (stickier tires), ECU tuning (reprogram throttle opening), suspensions (LSD, driveshaft, CV Axle) and so on. You have so many options, but keep in mind, each one you do to your car, car character will change so don't do everything at once.
c. Like Churchx stated, better suspension setup can fix that issue. Koni, Ohlins, Bilstein, Cusco lists goes on. Also keeping tire all in 45 will reduce small dips & bumps.
d. That might be do with few reasons. 1. Tires - Stock tires are by any means grippy. Upgrading it to better girppy tires can reduce that problem. 2. Driver - You need better driving control, specially throttle control.
e. There are limited turn angle car can do in a stock form... unless you change the suspension setup (modified knuckles)... but most of those parts are for drifting anyways.
