I agreed totally with obrigado. There is a huge difference in streetable handling performance and race track handling. A great example is the Lotus Elise, terrible and unforgiving to live with on the street but a real precision weapon on the track.

And yes, there is no such thing as too much chassis stiffness.

My preference for 'improved' handling would be

1. Better tires
2. Brace the chassis,
3. Shocks/dampers (slightly firmer in bump and substantially more rebound),
4. Stiffer sway bars

I left out lowering springs because I use my car to go everywhere and the double wishbone suspension already has relatively short suspension travel as it is and wouldn't want to compromise the ride quality too much.
