You should make no performance upgrades without first answering the following questions ... and we can all chime in on recomendations based upon those answers
What is your intended use? Mostly street with an occassional autox, occasional track day, autox beast, track beast, hard parking at car shows, etc
Based upon your use, how much are you willing to sacrifice street comfort for performance?
Nothing worse than modifying a good car and either making it perform worse or be something you hate to drive. Some would hate mine on the street for example as it is set up for autox/track day stuff. I am just used to driving around prepped autox cars on the street, but for some that would ruin the experience of the car

Exactly. Need to know the planned usage to make any of these decisions wisely. I liked the stock suspension, but wanted to go the STR route for autox and track day type of stuff and based all decisions on what performed well for that. But if you spend 99% of your time on rough city streets, a stock S2k would handle better there than mine with 800 lb/in springs on it!
I have a set of KW V3 sitting in my garage, but no way am I putting them in the car until I know what I'm doing on the track.

In many states, including mine, this would be a violation of an executive order to remain at home except to obtain essential services.

@rpg51 , from all indications Florida certainly doesn't realize this. I happen to work for one of the major health care providers in this country. The amount of effort going on behind the scenes in an attempt to stay on top of things as best as possible (a far cry from where anyone would like to be at this point) is quite sobering to be honest.
