yes, either get coilovers and set the dampening to stiffest

or get new springs with a higher spring rate

or get some strut bar, rear sways sort of thing

If you have Tokico Illuminas (white color) then you can stiffen the ride up, unless it is already at its stiffest setting. But if you have the HPs (blue color) then that is as stiff as theyll get.

I love your accord (stupidaznmunkey), were'd you get the headlights?

the strut bar and sway bars dont affect the ride so changing these won't make it ride more firm. The strut bar is to stiffen the chassis, and sway bars are to help the car go through the corners level.

But spot on with the new coilovers and higher spring rate.

anyway good luck

daniel's headlight is oem black housing....search for diy black housing...

and yes front strutbar does make your ride a bit stiffer since it connects both strut together....less body roll such and such....

same thing with sway bars....just remember,

-front stiff (with either strutbar or sway bar) = more of understeer characteristic
-rear stiff (sway bars) = more of oversteer chracteristic.

quick and easiest to way to stiffen ride is, of course, stiffen your shock absorber....if yours is dampening adjustable, play with settings, if not, change to different shock......(coilovers can be great choice too)
