Default Handling problem

Last night i raced a Lexus IS on the freeway & i noticed at high speeds (100+) my 08' impala SS handling is horrible. Going straight of course was fine (unless you hit a dip) but going through turns sucked. Any advice on ways to improve this? I don't plan on racing all the time but when i feel the need i want the handling to be there.

Lower profile tires. Lowering springs and upgradedo sway bars will net you the most handling
