Strut bar ties everything together, literally. That said there is a lot of slop in the stock suspension. Coil-overs and stiffer bushings will help to eliminate the slop, and generally help the car to feel tighter.
Think of it this way. There are a lot of components between the tire, chassis, and steering wheel. The strut bar stiffened the chassis, but you still have room for improvement between the tire and chassis. The stock set up is very soft. Soft bushings will give you a soft ride, but slow response. Stiffer bushings will give you better response.
