There is a limit as to how stiff you want the car to be. If it's too stiff, you wont be able to control it too well. When the car is really rigid, its harder to feel the "breaking point". you'll be turning and all of the sudden your ass end will pass you. then again, if its too loose, you wont be able to turn effectively because the weight of the car will try to keep going straight. (object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by another, opposing force) what you have so far is pretty good for a beginner and you really shouldnt need much more considering you drive it everyday. If it were a serious track car, you'd gut it and cage it much like a drag car. Then you'd probably step up to a mustang II front suspension (short upper control arm and long lower control arm with a coil over instead of a strut) If you really want, I could maybe copy a few pages out of my notes from wyotech from when we were going over suspension setup.
