Default This car needs to be stiffened up

My car as with all b5s is so clunky and sloppy. Shifting, deaccelerating, accelerating, downshifting always brings clunks and thumps throughout the drivetrain. I have the stern power ring and am wondering what should be done next and what brands are good. Motor mounts, tranny mounts, differential bushings?

New control arms, APR snub mount, short shifter, S4 swaybars, S4 struts and springs (if you don't want to be low), Bilstein/H&R combo if you do.

rear diff mount takes out lots of play
