Comfort and handling is at opposite ends. You have to decided on how much comfort you can live without for handling. And how much handling you can live without for comfort. Stock is closer to the handling end already. A good set of coilovers valved for the correct springs is the way to go. BUT selecting the springs and valving isn't that easy.

I'll use this as an example. Some love the Koni shocks and Swift springs combo. Others will say that they are just ok. No two people are alike in their taste.

Then on top of that, to fully test and adjust the shocks can be, at the very least, tedious.

I dream buying a set of 4 ways, pick some random spring rates, let my two toddlers play with the low/high comp/rebound knobs, then play a game called "guess how it rides".
