Default Best Suspension Improvements?

Hey all I bought a 2005 Civic Hybrid 2 months ago
I use it for work; about 600-700 miles per week. I love the car however it is not very well balanced. It is soft in the turns and by NO means a sports car. I would like to improve handling in the turns, nothing super aggressive but a definite improvement over what I have. You can definitely feel the batteries behind the rear seats the first time you drive it.

Is this a spring, shock and struts thing. Not going to lower it or buy new tires and wheels.

Suggestions, Experience??

look to Tein for a set of lowering springs, Tokico or KYB for a set of shocks, and neuspeed or suspension techniques for a set of sway bars. it will handle like a go-cart.
