Default Sportier Suspension

I currently have an Eibach Pro kit and that is the only Suspension mod thus far. I am just trying to get a bit of a firmer ride for the Summer. I was wondering what shocks I could get, I am running the Eibachs with stock shocks and I was look at the Bilstein HD's. However, I am not sure if this is the best option so that is why I am asking here. What are my other options for shocks. A am also planning on getting a Sway Bar to decrease body roll. What other mods should I think about purchasing besides the for-mentioned for a sportier ride?

I heard good reviews for the bilsteins. On my other car, it was either that or koni yellow's but I went with the yellows.

Get the set of sway bars, lowering springs and shocks for a sportier ride. If you want adjust ability, get coilovers

Thanks for the advise. Also, what is the difference between the Bilstein HD and Sport?

Does anyone have experience with an Eibach + HD or Eibach + Sports Combo?

Just had my KYB/Eibach combo intsalled yesterday after reading hundreds of posts. I love it. Ride is still very comfortable, only a bit firmer, but in no way harsh around town. Still very Lexus like and cornering/handling is improved dramatically.

Re: Bilsteins, from the posts and comments I read, seemed like the HD's would be softer than the sports. Check with other owners. I got my GR2's for $320 delivered.....a very good price.
