nola mike,
Hope all's well!
A majority of our customers find that the greatest impact relative to suspension enhancement will come via spring upgrade. The springs will lower the 900's center of gravity while increasing spring rate. The convertible models already suffer from frame flex making the lower center of gravity of even more impact.
An update of shock absorbers would also increase performance but a high damping rate could also make for a less comfortable ride. A combination of OEM BOGE shock absorbers or BILSTEIN in conjunction with a spring enhancement should bring a performance oriented ride without being overly harsh for daily driven use.
Many find the KYB "gas adjust", BOGE pro gas, or other more highly gas charged/dampened shock absorbers to be unrealistic for ride comfort.
Sway bar or polyurethane bushings would also enhance road handling performance.
Best of luck and have a great holiday!
