Making the car better for high speed handling?
im running
i have a set of eibach sportlines with tokico blues. im sitting between 1.5 and 2 fingers from rubber to wheel well with 18's. i make it comfortably over the bigger of speed bumps, at most the exhaust will scrap in the middle barely. (have no body kit though). also have front tower strut brace, rear control arms, cross brace and rear tower strut brace. the cool thing i liked with the choice of springs and shocks was that my front camber was able to be adjusted to spec without a camber kit. the rear is a few mil off but no biggy for me. handles awesome but most passengers find it really stiff and a bit bumpy on the rough roads. find from switching back and forth from winter tires and rims (doesn't plow in winter, and i live in canada) and then summer tires and rims the bounce seems to disappear, mostly due to the low profile of the summer tires....
all i have to say is you have to be that much more aware of the road to dodge pot holes and bad manhole's or it's gonna hurt.

Another good idea is going to a larger wheel and with wider tires. The wider the tread width the better grip you have. IE 195/60R15 vs 215/40R17 you have 195mm of tire touching the surface of the road or 215mm of tire touching the surface of the road. Not hard to figure out which has better grip.
