I wouldnt shoot for the stars just yet...
Learn to drive the car as is..you'll appreciate "better" more after that...and ya, all cars have roll, you HAVE to have some roll.
Im on stock suspension on crap tires on the OEM wheels for the winter now. I feel im still _plenty_ quick up the mountain roads round here. A stiffer car some would argue (like me) you have less overall control with less skill, than a stiff track type setup that is less forgiving if you find yourself driving a mistake from 20yds ago. More spring rate wants more shock to control it..etc..etc..etc. The less body roll you have, the less weight Xfer you have..and its a more technical driving at limits..and experience behind the wheel determines what the edges are.
Thats just my take..

Sure..make it reliable first. Probly $2500 in work you -need- to do under the hood first.
Or..some would say, SHOULD do, so you know that it's done.
Busted timing belts and water pumps dont corner at all.

for street 928's bilsteins with stock springs is VERY nice....handles better but still rides nice....
I have bilsteins with cut eibachs on the Estate.....it handles VERY well but would ride a bit stiff on the street....
Best thing to do..........LEAVE YOUR CAR ALONE....just drive it and have fun....don't worry about upgrades....save your $$$ for repairs....since they will come

Normally, I'd insert some crack about Carl here, but I'm trying to be nicer, so I'll just leave it at that.

That came up before Mark..what -are- they?
Clearly..a race prepped fit of something unique.
