Lowering with the proper suspension will. In other words, springs that have the proper rate for their height (and not too low, as to hurt suspension geometry) and shocks that can damper the springs.

I have a set of Koni SA's on my car, and its at stock ride height still, and let me tell you the handling and ride are night and day difference from stock. You dont know what your missing out on.

I say get some Koni's on there, then if you want even better handling go for some springs.
