The rubber subframe bushings are one item than can contribute to this. If you want to firm up the rear, there are any number of companies selling inserts, or even whole collar replacements made of billet aluminum. This would limit or stop the subframe from shifting up/down.

I've seen them for sale from SPL and on ebay and other random places too.
