Default Reluctant to upgrade suspension

I keep looking at other upgrades for the car, and the trackday instructors all say to focus on handling upgrades before horsepower. The obvious handling upgrades are coilovers and antisways, but I've been very reluctant to make these changes.

While playing Forza 3 today, I realized why. There are so many adjustments for the suspension that I don't think I'll find a setting that's better than my stock setup (ie I won't have the time to find the setting and may not even appreciate it if I did). Am I wrong? Does the upgrade alone with the 'middle' settings result in an improvement, or are coilovers only beneficial if you dedicate hours upon hours to track testing and adjusting? I certainly don't want to make my car handle WORSE than stock, but I don't have the time to fiddle with suspension adjustments (nor do I think I'd appreciate some of the fine nuances in these adjustments unless someone was demonstrating it for me).

Any thoughts?
