There were incremental upgrades..
Baseline (when I purchased the car); 2008 OEM Shocks w/ Tein H-Tech Springs
2016ish: Added FIGS LCA; cornering and control felt tighter, while potholes and steel plates felt more jarring. On good pavement they were a noticeable improvement. You get use to it after a few months though.
2018: Upgraded shocks from OEM to Bilstein
Otherwise, no other suspension changes aside from tires. Currently running (discontinued) Falken FK452. Handles decently well, but not as good as or as quiet as the OEM Michelins. Good price though.

I know this should go in the classified section but I have a set of rear 2014 OEM ISF shocks w/20K miles on them and a set of 2008 about w/40K miles. I thought my 08 was too tight and I came across a set of almost new 14's and I mixed and matched both and to me, the smoothest was with the 2008's in the rear and the 14's upfront. The tighter of the two were the opposite (08's in front and 14's on the rear) in my opinion so if you, or anyone else is interested, they could be had at a very sweet deal. If you want total all-around tightness, my opinion and suggestion would be to find relativity new 08's all around but they are stiff!
