Get the Boge performance springs and add heavier front and rear sway bars. Stick with hydraulic shocks. Gas shocks with the performance springs will give you a ride that you will feel bumps more.
I have had H&R springs and gas shocks and heavier front and rear sway bars.
The best combo for performance VS ride is what I have done for those that do not like harsher rides or have a rider that does not like bumpy rides .
I can take most curves at 10mph to 15 mph above warning, with little to no body lean. Bumps are not a problem.
If you add a bigger front sway bar, you will need to add the rear one to balance it out. I waited many months to add my rear bar to see how it drives with the bigger front bar. Rear was loose a lot and it did not handle as well in corners.
