welcome!
Yes, best thing you can do for the ST is to beef up the suspension. It makes it so much fun to drive.
I have an ST as well and have done most of the suspension upgrades aside from sway bars and I thrash on it all the time.
if you're looking for a good stut bar, I would suggest shelling out some cash for a TRD one or a C-one bar if u can find it.
other than that, welcome and please feel free to dive through the endless amount of info on the site. TONS of reading to be had. and please ask questions.
