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.
