You should also look at anti-sway bars to keep the body roll to a minimum. They have a minimal effect on the ride quality but tightens things up in the corners.
I am looking into that also. I would like to see how my ride would be with the new set up. I decided to go with Eibach springs and Bilstein Sport shocks. I hope cornering improves to a point where I don't need anti-sway bar. But if it doesn't then I will put in the sway bars. Thanks for the advice.

Get the H&R sport spring, just got mine and I couldn't be more pleased. The ride is a little more firm but sporty still smooth and much better cornering. Your car will look handle and corner better.

Al, the Springs are shipping out today via FedEx. Turns out USPS was about the same price and 7 days vs. 4 days through FedEx.
