There isn't much good you can expect from trailing arms, toe rods, etc until that subframe is well controlled.

Diff bushing would be stop #2. Once you've got the subframe and diff well controlled you'll find the wheelhop is much better controlled, and the other suspension components are really not so bad. Worth upgrading at some point, but not priority items. FWIW, my M6 car goes 1.5x 60' times on stock suspension, other than solid sub-frame bushings and diff bushing.
Listen to this man, he knows what's up!

Address the subframe first and go from there.
