Mine felt the same way when I got it. The pillow ball bushings in all the suspension peices in the rear are probably all bad, replaced mine and it made a huge difference. Search to read about those.

Make sure your tires are the same size, PSI, and are not wearing from improper alignment.

You should get new pillow ball bushings if they are needed, you don't need to upgrade anything else, those bushings cost enough anyway.

Tire out of round, tire out of balance, out of balance driveshaft, bad inner or outer tie-rod ends, bad power steering rack bushings.

The list could go on, but check these first.

Start with the easy things:

1. Check your tire pressures
2. Have your wheels checked to make sure they are balanced
3. Get the rear wheels off the ground, see if you can wiggle them and how much play they have.

Depending on what happens with those, we can provide more advice.

Might want to find a good rotary specialist near you or a good high end suspension shop also. The suspension system has a lot of components and is not always easy to track down problems if you don't have experience with it.
