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.
