Suspension - Bilstein HDs - Impression

In an effort to upgrade my 99 2.3lpt, I decided to replace the stock suspension piecemeal. I first installed the 03 Aero sway bars front and rear and they helped body roll tremendously. About 7 months later, I pulled the trigger with Bilstein HDs. I pored through the board and asked former upgraders. I did not opt for the lowered Eibach springs in combo with the Bilstein sports. I wanted to save some bucks.
So far, the performance has just been ok. I can take corners a lot better but I think it could be better. I upgraded to 17 inch Gary Fisher wheels and the stock Michelins (albeit with 50% life left) Pilots. I hope that my replacement tires (all seasons - leaning to Kumho ASXs or PZero Nero M+S) can give me the grip that I desire.
I guess in retrospect at this time, perhaps I should have gone with stiffer and lower springs and the stiff sport suspension. Any impressions from anyone else?
