Mine is a race car and I'm getting to the point where it handles well. Every set-up is personal though - you wouldn't want the spring rates that I use for road use. Also for 500bhp you'll have to go for a strong diff.

The obvious places to start are good dampers and springs, make your diff mount stronger, stiffen the beam, think about adjustable beam, fit 3 door hubs (if you have Sapph hubs), make sure your tyre pressures are right, fit sticky tyres, get the ride height correct.
