what would i have to buy for my car for the following things to happen ?

1) do not dip when i brake hard or accelerate hard

2) no body roll when turning corners

3)car to handle better overall

i want all these things to happen and still be happy to drive it on the street.

probably a set of lowering springs, good shocks to handle them (these would both help handling and springs would reduce nosedive), then either a 32 or 35mm front swaybar would stop most of the bodyroll
to stay happy on the street, keep that stock rear swaybar (some even keep it in competition type stuff like autox just because it is decent sized)
good luck

Unfortunately these are very different requests. For #1 and #2, it would be easy. Remove your springs and shocks completely, weld the wheels solid to the frame so there's no suspension movement at all. The car will stay completely flat except for tire flex. Easy enough, but very much contrary to your other items.

Better handling, if you mean on a road course for example, is typically done via a good combo like: a good set of springs, stiffer than stock, probably linear; And some good shocks that match; Some wider wheels with sticky tires; Add appropriate sway bars to make the car handle as neutral as possible.

Happy to drive on the street, at least for me, means a relatively soft suspension like stock, and narrower wheels and tires so it doesn't track in every groove.

So most folks have to pick a balance between the second items (no one does what you're asking for in your first and second question) if they want to share duties of street and road course with the same car. A bit stiffer springs & shocks, and maybe some wider tires, but still street radials.
