Then the alignment. If the alignment is true, and the camber is < -5 degrees then you should be at the optimum for reducing these types of effects.
Whats a "true" alignment? You mean stock?

I understand you mean ">" not "<", but man, if your camber is anywhere near -5 degrees then something is extremely wrong...specially since you can't go much past -1.5 on the stock setup...and because -5 degrees is an insane and detrimental amount of camber for a street car. Also...camber adjustments are part of an alignment so its not an "alignment AND camber".

If you still feel as if you are getting pitched around and at the edge of losing traction the only other option I can think of with stock suspension is to reduce the unsprung weight IE tires, wheels, brakes, suspension. (which could be quite expensive).

If you already have adjustable coilovers, then you could soften the bump dampening, allowing the suspension to react quicker and smoother to the changes in pavement height. Other than that your pretty much on your own.
He doesnt.
