Camber kit not always necessary. Sway bars would be my next thing. HUGE improvement when I installed my Comptech bar.

Getting front and rear sway bars will just make the car feel the same. Getting a larger rear sway bar will make the car corner more neutral and sometimes more oversteer (which can be scary on a slick/wet road).
