As someone stated shocks can only get you so far. As some point a spring upgrade is required.
That's what this car is going to end up having. I bought a used Sport Pack RSB and will install it with newer struts and maybe springs as well. we're also going to play with the ride height a little (looking for a little front nose-down look, not much) and then change out the wheels/tires.
