It depends on how far you want to go. I have mine setup for Autocross. Very rough on the street but handles great on the course. 850 LB springs, Penske 3-way adjustable shocks, Modified GTP front swaybar, this was to make it adjustable (see pic). No rear bar. 285/30/18 front and 335/30/18 rear (Hoosier A6's). If you are doing track days it would be different.

By better, I mean more controlled. My car seems to take quite a hit (bounce) whenever I hit a bump in the road. There must be a better option. Something that absorbs the bump better and doesn't trasmit such a shock to the driver.

My previous car, an FFR, I replaced the non adjustable Bilsteins with adjustable Konis on all four corners and felt more connected whenever uneven terrain was encountered. I might be wrong, but if there is a way to improve the overall handling, I am open to suggestions.

Many have said the Bilsteins are the best you can get, but I thought I would ask anyways.
