Ok let me tell you what Im looking for and for those that have done or know more then I do about it can maybe shed some light on it
1. bilstien* shocks that are black in color
2. maybe 1/2 to 3/4 drop in sping height if possible I know most are 1in drops
I had never seen black bilsteins until i saw a add on ebay for some for a 98 2.8
Im not a big fan of the multi colors under the car, hence I would prefer black shocks and spings but hope to know have a bone jarring full race set up
Ive searched alot but most seem to be going with a fairly radical set up, Im looking for more for a better handling for spirited driving; not track or racing
or are the factory boge about as good as it gets for what im wanting
any help
max

Who's going to be doing the spirited driving? A new girlfriend? 
Your car would have less body roll if you took the hardtop off. Have you tried that? 
Considering your mileage (lack thereof), and your driving style, I think a better first move would be adjustable swaybars.
Don't get me wrong... anything that would prevent me from having to stop every few miles for you to catch up would be a blessing.

max | I replaced my OEM with H&R/Bilstein sport setup when my RSMs started failing at 70k miles. It gives a bit more drop than you want, about 1", and a noticeably stiffer ride, but not uncomfortable. James Clay suggested the RD sway bars as the final addition, but I want a few more DE events before adding that. Interestingly, a friend who builds race cars suggested I try the sway bars first, so I guess either way is a possibility. I had an instructor at RA that had just bought a 2.8 coupe and he was slinging it all around the track. He wanted me to try trail braking at T6 and T10a but concluded my suspension was too stiff for the speed I was carrying into the turn. The colors don't really show much from normal angles.
