if you think standard suspension is harsh do not even think about coilovers!!!!
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

yes springs and shock, what ever you go for will be stiffer and harsher than the standard setup
Rhyso rates his Eibach springs and bilstein shocks, as does Rich with Eibach springs and shocks. also read good things about weitec springs and shocks all depends on how much you want to spend and what sort of drop your after

standard is like an air sprung mattress

Bilstein B4 and Eibach springs are slightly firmer but not bone shaking

Personally I think it's only needed if you do a lot of track days. For everyday road use set damping is fine.
