Rear 16mm Whiteline with link and braces
Front 25.4 Hotchkis
Rack and pinion Whiteline bushing
Subframe crossmember Whiteline bushing
Positive shift kit Whiteline bushing
Differential insert Whiteline bushing
Removed the front outrigger
Springs:
Mach v
Front: 0.75" / 3.4k 28% stiffer then stock
Rear: 1.0" / 4.5k 30% stiffer the stock
Now, am looking for coilovers :
KW V1 : I love these because they are lifetime warranty and in stainless
ST : look pretty good and a nice upgrade for the price like V1 but less expensive (not in stainless) and only five years warranty.
Bilstein B14: I don't like progressive springs then am not really sure, I worry about what is the feeling that type of coils can give.
BC BR: I am not sure if they can handle more then stock after having read on the forum. They are Adjustable in damping and in front camber
KW V3 : lifetime warranty and 14 ways compression damping adjustable.
I want stiffer ride but without compromising the handling/feeling of the car. I don't want to be too stiff, harsh....
I can also stay on spring shocks but I prefer coilovers because they combine springs and dampers together. In my head, a good set of coilovers handle more compare to a separate set of springs and dampers, who was maybe not made to function together...I am maybe wrong but in my head it's look like this, you can give your opinion or try to help me to understand.
Thanks in advance.

everything is a compromise. you want it stiff but not too stiff, who knows what YOUR too stiff is? what are you going to use it for? what do you expect/want? what do you not like/dislike about your current setup? KW v3 seem to have good reviews. Rce tarmac zero seem to be up there too.
