What year and trim level do you have? Sig update perhaps - would help.

I find the standard CATS suspension to be a nice blend of good handling and fairly decent ride quality.

Lower her with H&R Sport lowering springs and pop in a set of Bilstiens struts intended for the "Sport" suspension package. She'll ride lower but no too low and the cornering will much improved without sacrificing ride quality.

X2 on the Bilsteins, don't have em on my STR but I have had them on many different cars and usually they provide a compliant ride. Koni would be another choice, if you can find them that is.

The few times I've fitted KYB's on cars, the ride tended to lean toward extremely stiff.

I think Seth gets royalties from H&R - so just be aware of his recommendation.
