Handling is so subjective that this is sure to generate a lot of responses.
 My preference for a dual purpose street/track GTV is to go to a 16 mm rear
sway bar (3 mm over stock) and leave the stock front sway bar.  I haven't
used any of the Shankle springs, but the "Sport" springs probably aren't
stiff enough to make a significant difference.
