Springs are certainly not necessary unless you want to lower it.

Bilstein HD shocks will work very well with stock springs.

I have all aftermarket suspension (Bilsteen, BMR everything) and I think that with a stiffer more responsive set up that you actualy feel the road more. Are you running 18 in wheels? that also makes a difference.

With good shocks, you should have a better "feel" of the road, but you shouldn't feel the road more...if that makes any sense.

KBDD SFC's, just had a set installed today and its a brand new car.... definitely much stiffer, no more rattles and creaks. Definitely a 200% improvement in ride quality IMO. Wish I did it sooner. Do it. You wont be disappointed.

Subframes are a very nice addition. They won't make the bumps go away like a set of shocks, though.
