plus-sizing the tires helped me also. I went from stock 205/55-16 to 225/50-16. No clearance/rubbing issues, and definitely gives a little more traction and responsiveness. Currently, I have Continental ContiExtremeContacts. I had had Dunlop SP5000 Asymmetrical. Both tires have excellent handling characteristics in wet and dry conditions (including light snow, not that that is an issue for you!). This is represented not only by the reviews on the TireRack website, but also from my own personal experiences.
I also fitted poly bushes to the rear sway bar. Immediately helped in making the understeer less pronounced. Do not do this to the front sway bar as it makes the understeer worse. I also put in poly end-link bushes (where the ends of the front sway bar attach to) -- helps in handling around corners, but don't know about the effects on understeer.
