I don't know if you want to listen to me since my car has the ride of
a roller skate.  

It's a 71 Corvette.  When I upgraded its handling, I went to Chevy.  I
traded up to the F-41 handling package: 500lb/in spring rate front coils,
anti-roll bars front and rear.  I basically ordered parts which were 
originally options from the factory.  I don't know much about variable
spring rates, but when your suspension travels as little as this one does,
I doubt it matters.  Potholes and the like are pretty rotten going with this
setup, but it NEVER bottoms out, something that my wimpier, older setup
did a lot.  So, you would probably do well to investigate high performance 
versions of your car.

As far as shocks, Konis all around.  And they are amazing.
