I drive about 50 miles a day through terrible roads infested with huge potholes and bumps that make my brothers 2000 Eclipse GT feel like it is going to break. Now I own a ZX3, and the soft-SUV like suspension is nice with these sucky conditions. Now I wanted a full suspension upgrade that gives great performance but still offers good ride comfort. I at first wanted the Eibach pro-system plus kit, but found out that it was really stiff, and that just won't do where I live.

Now after hearing comments about the SVT springs, I was thinking about putting those on. Now my question to you all, if you don't mind helping me, is:

What shocks/dampers should I get with the front/rear SVT springs, and would the Eibach sway bars be a good buy with the setup, or should I just go with the SVT sway as well? Or should I get the S2 shocks/dampers and sway? I don't have any racing experience so I don't know if I want slight understeer or a balance. I just like to drive fast and want a car that is much more sporty and powerful. I would appreciate any info you guys could spare. Thanks in advance.
