You should also consider Koni FSD's. Your handling will improve as well as your ride comfort. Hard to believe, but true.

I did the Koni FSD thing. They are pretty good, but I don't know if they were $1000 installed good.

Hi..coil overs are great if cost not an issue...I installed a set of Bilstein sports with Z06 sway bars on my 00 coupe ( also lowered on stock bolts) and the difference is astounding...IMO the sports are not too harsh, but just right!!

I used the HD because I don't usually track my car and I like them. They seemed to work pretty good on the track as well. However I didn't push it the the limit
