Default suspension changes... in what order?

My '01 Z06 is eat up with motor. Presently loving them Michelin PS2's. Car is lowered about 3/4 " and that's about all my drive and street use will allow. Please advise on what to do for improving road course track work. And in order of importance/value. I want to improve turn-in without lowering car anymore, and decrease body roll. I'm willing to accept stiffer ride/uncomfortable street use to get better handling. So what will make the biggest difference?? Coil-overs? With what sping rates front and back? Bigger sways? Who has done it, and what sizes front and resr? Who has gone so far as to replace all the bushings in the front end? Anyway, you guys know what I'm after... so how do we do it??

Thanks, bma2
