Seating position is also very important. Your seat should be adjusted properly. As my instructors informed me: your seat should be far enough so you can place you feet flat on the ground behind your pedals. In this position your knees should be almost straight, but when you move the feet to touch the pedals, knees will be slightly bent.
Back of the seat should be close enough so you can rest your wrists on top of the steering wheel with elbows straight. If you can't touch the steering wheel with the wrists, you are too far, and if the wrists are too far inn on the steering wheel you are too close.
It takes some time to get used to, but after you do it will make a huge difference.
I also use a CG Lock. Its a small inexpensive device, which locks the waist belt (prevents the lap belt from moving). Basically it prevents my hips from sliding while cornering.
