you've already got a state of the art suspension on your car, but if you're willing to sacrifice some ride quality and ground clearance for some looks/performance, JIC probably makes the best coilover (flt-a2). I believe tein has a coilover kit as well, and of course there's mazdaspeed. you can go with springs only, but you spent $30k on a car, don't be cheap on the mods. there's also a slew of swaybar kits out that will greatly reduce body roll without hurting the ride too much.

i have HKS hipermax on my car for about 3k miles now. been to 2 track events with them, they are really nice, not stiff like the JIC on the street. when on the track it helps the handling alot too.

If money is not an issue and you want performance then get Penske 4-way adjustable shocks. Unlike Tein/JIC with their "15-way adjustable" that actually changes rebound and compression at once, Penskes have separate adjustments for low speed rebound, high speed rebound, low speed compression and high speed compression.
You're looking at $3500 for the Penske shocks by themselves. Get a good suspension guy and the ideal is to eliminate the rear sway bar altogether for best performance.
