help my suspension choice

Hi I have searched through this area as well as elsewhere. Question is what are the suspension pieces that I should change for the best handling. I do not care about improved traction as much as firmness and responsiveness. I have the WS6 suspension setup and want to know the best pieces to help my cause. I do not want to replace every last piece. I also know that 1 item will not make things better because it is a system of pieces that work together. Please tell me the main pieces to get the best bang for the buck.

Great shocks and struts. This is the very first thing needed for any car to really handle well. Get some Koni "yellows" if you want a true handling improvement with only one modification.

good shocks, good tires, best bang for the buck.

i don;t know the ws6 susp at all but i though that was one of the better suspension set ups for our cars.

SFC would help you with body roll and flex. That would be a good one too.
