If you want less roll but not lower Id go with with hotchkiss swaybars.

The single biggest handling improvement you can make would be sticky tires, such as Kumho MX or Falken Azenis sport.

the stock springs are hella stiff already. if yu want better handlign without changing ride height, put your attention on tires.

honestly...tires is a personal preference. before u try to find which tires have the best traction, you need to find out what size wheels you are gonna have and what tire size you want. that way you can find which companies have tires then u can narrow it down

SCCA nationals proved pretty conclusively that the falken azenis sport and kumho MX are the two stickiest tires out there.

any other reccomendations you hear are not based on anything concrete at this time.
