Default car shakes at high speeds, what can i do???

alright, well my car's a 95 civic dx. well by high speeds i mean around 95-105mph(isnt that terrible?). anyways my car shakes when its going that fast. what can i do so that it won't shake like that? the car only weighs around 2245 pounds. all i have done to the suspension is springs/shocks. but i also havent gone that fast since i got them put on my car. thanks.

and just so i dont get flamed for always flying around fast and shit, i only have gone that fast 3 times in the year that i've owned the car so fuckoff in advance its not even fun for me to go that fast anyways because it takes too long to get to that speed

well i'm gonna get new rims/tires pretty soon(within 3 weeks) so i guess i'll try it again once i get them on and see how it does then..
would strut bars/tie bars help at all?? could it possibly be my engine topping out?!!?! 4th gear is supposed to go to 112 so i dont know, my car is obviously not made to handle high speeds at all haha
