Suspension may help. It will keep most of the movement from occuring. Don't use spring helpers or any kind of lifts, because with 20's it sits too high already. The adjustable struts will help, only if you keep them at their stiffest setting. I think that most of your problem is that your springs and struts are probably pretty worn out.

Should fix your problem. Coilovers will give you full ride height adjustability, where as adjustable struts will only adjust the dampening resistance, not ride height.

Springs are around $250. Struts are around $450. Coilovers are around $900.

For the Eibach springs, Drivewire was the cheapest I could find, factoring in shipping. Motorsports Direct was the cheapest for the Illuminas.

Tire Rack sells Eibach springs. They're usually priced pretty well.
