Are you going for drag strip wonder or F1 handling? If F1 handling is the goal I say: Koni shocks, sway bars, springs, sticky tires.

Get some seat time, learn what the car is telling you, understand how to address a problem and change ONE THING AT A TIME!

Be consistent in how you test. A freeway on ramp, seat of the pants comparo is ridiculous.

Get some REAL, OBJECTIVE data

Set your goals then figure out what you want the car to do that it isn't doing already. Once you know that, you will better know what to change.

Don't forget good tires. You might not notice any difference if you're rolling on all seasons.
