I have a 2000 base and at 60K noticed that I was getting a lot of body roll on sweepers and hard cornering. I decided to lower the car and installed Bilstein coilovers. I could not be happier, it rides like a whole different car. Steering is very responsive, and body roll is almost eliminated.

I have the Bilsteins set to the softest setting, but the ride is still a little harsh. For me, that is a small price to pay for the improved performance, feels much more like a go-cart. I found it interesting that when I put on the coilovers and lowered the car, I have less of a tendency to scrap the bottom when going over steep driveways and such than I did with the stock shocks.
