Ok, well this is great info guys and clearly shocks will help with the waddle but bushings are the answere. As for shocks, Bilsteins seem to be a good choice for spireted driving, is adjustable really required?
If you are changing bushings.. you should really verify that your current bushings are in bad shape first. The stock bushings if they are still in good shape are going to be fine for spirited driving. If they are in good shape then that's not the source of the instability.
If cost isn't a concern, I believe the general consensus is that the Konis are the way to go.
I was constrained by a lower budget and opted for the SLP Bilsteins and they were a noticeable improvement over the stock DeCarbons.

This shouldn't really be a much a of a qulestion anymore in 2013,... I mean really? I think its established that Koni 4/4's single adjustable are the best of the best. If you truly want the "Best" shocks. The only other option I would see are custom race valved blisteins but those are more expensive than koni's so it doesn't make much sense.
Strano or bmr springs for daily driving.
Maybe a ground control coil over sleeve could be better than the two above, but you would really have to know your **** and your set up to pick the spring rate and ride height correctly. Honestly I wouldn't try it. Let the pro's do that for you.
I just got koni/strano's in the mail and I am waiting to put them on.

What shocks do you have now and what springs? If all stock, I'm pretty sure Bilstiens will fix the problem for you.

I was in the same boat and I have zero complaints.
