<-----gets a bucket of avgas to throw onto this rageing fire of hate
"im more takumi then u are!...no ur not....yes i am....no ur not..."
"i drift my mums front wheel drive better then you do...no u dont..................."
basic translation of this thread
i also find it annoying that simply by owning a "certain" type of vehicle people are constantly harrased by other dumb arse mofos who have a problem with something (impetance? hairy palms?) and just bag out other ppl who simply ask a question...why bother? ever considered buying a life (or a wife?)
saying that someone is not an enthusiast because they cut their springs is just uncalled for, what makes u the judge, (even though Keitchii himself cut his springs when he first started, guess hes some punk with no skills or enthusiasm ey) being 17-18 and poor is not a choice, just messing about with cars from a young age teaches u more then reading manuals and books (or being some sadsack gimp on forums and just abusing ppl who might not know as much as you) anyway it feels good to get things off ones chest...this feels like an anger management group 
(and yes i do see the irony in me saying bad things about others while saying its not the right thing to do, i guess i do fit the stereotype of an 86 pilot in your eyes then..whatever ...but ill stand up for the other drivers who are just here to learn or whatever)
whitchy....to your innitial question...a few things can help you out....
1) your steering geometry is probably out as your car will be sitting too low....get some RCA's (roll center adjusters) from whiteline or whatever..they are cheap and easy to fit, and will increase the contact patch with the road on cornering making steering over bumps more predictable
2) talk to someone about the ammount of caster your car has, if the previous owner cut springs they probably wound in lots of caster making steering twitchy (proper wheel allighnment will fix this, make adjustments and see how u like it)
3) get proper springs/shocks
4) as has been said..tyres, ammount of tread doesent mean condition of tyre, i find bald tyres with soft compound grip lots more then ones with tread...like racing slicks...but dont drive on them in the wet, so you might consider swaping fronts to rears
5) rear sway bar / front tower brace help with corner exits and make understeer > oversteer transition more predictable
6) ae86slut is right...it is the trait of the chassis, the more suspention work i did the more she wanted to understeer, just buy everythign you can adjustable then you can tune your car as u like....starting with a front and rear swaybars (adjustable) will help the car to be predictable...even if it understeers\
finaly...if you are planing to keep your car...consider a 4age conversion...its the easiest one of the lot and will help to eliminate understeer, with a little more weight over the front wheels and more power at the rears
i hope that what i said helps...if you have no money i know it doesent but at least u can have a goal....sometimes you have to make sacrifices....the old 2 minute noodle diet over summer might help you save finds...im sure most of us have all suffered on the part of the car we drive....all you 86 owners im talking to u.....i know i have....drinking homebrew not corona  , eating 2 min noodles, bah im rambling please excuse me, either way im waiting to cop it but ey...im leaving with a smile on my face 
the end 
Adam
