There are at least 20 different parts and/or settings that affect handling.

Therefore, it is a COMBINATION of the right parts AND having them all adjusted properly. Of course, the driver is the most important part of the equation, so attendance at a road racing course is very important in many respects.

Second ... you should contact the manufacturer and find out what you have in the car now for spring rates, shocks, sway bars, brake pads, etc. Can you do a 4 corner weight measurement?

Then get suggestions for the manufacturer on what upgrades they recommend.

Then come back to this thread and do a technical dump of all the information and ask the same question.

Then you will get a really good cross section of answers, because there is tons of expertise lurking on this forum. Some of the answer here are very good, but even the experts cannot give too much useful suggestions without knowing what you have now.

For now, the best thing you can do is try the things that cost no (or little) money.

First is the driver. Slow down your entry speed and then get back on the gas earlier on exit.

Second is the front tires. Play around with the air pressure and see what happens. Do you have a pyrometer to measure tire temps? Try to get consistent temps across the front tires from bead to bead.

Play with the front end hight. This will affect under-steer.

Cheap changes - new set of good sway bar bushings.
