Default handling mods

I read havoc_uk post about struts etc, and it got me thinking.

In my S, ive noticed that the back ends slips out a bit and bumps across the road on slightly uneven ground, and also bumps across the road. It generally feels unsettled on some roads.

What handling mods would reduce this?

cheers

As has already been mentioned, get Chris at CoG to check the geo on your car.

Then if your still not happy I'd recommend a lower rear arm bar by Cusco. When I put mine on I felt it improved the "readability" of the rear.
