I've decided to go with Bilstein HD shocks in the rear and a set of Bilstein revalve shocks up front. I'm then going to add in a 35mm front sway bar to the mix. Springs are going to be kept the same...I dont want to lower the car.

It's a daily driver, but I avoid the rough stuff now.

Yeah I have SLP boxed SFC's, probably the lowest you can get. I don't scrape if I avoid speed bumps! I drive a windy road to work and autox on the weekends, and have a ball!
As for making a noticeable improvement in handling, the best thing you can do is shocks. Koni SA's on the front, Bilstein 3rd gens on the back. I have Koni's SA's on all four, but they are overkill on the rear. The next step is big sway bars, then better tires and wheels.
