Tightening up the suspension w/eibachs, gabriel's & stillen

I've got to tighten up the handling & high speed ride on my 2014 sv.
it looks like a moderate way to go is eibach springs.
I will do the struts & shocks also. Gabriel's have a 1&3/8" body diameter, compared to the 1&3/16" on others. So, they should be more stable & last longer.
The stillen rear swaybar should take up any understeer.
From this forum's experience, does that sound about right?

Are you going with the Gabriel Ready Mounts or just the strut? Would be interested in how the Ready Mounts work for you.

I just found kyb struts & shocks on Ebay. So, I'll probably go with them instead of the Gabriel's. I think the kyb's are higher quality & will probably handle better..

Kyb offers rear shocks in std & "sport pkg" variants.
I think their fit is interchangeable, but the sport dampening is just stiffer.
So, I think I'll buy the "sport pkg: versions, even though my sv didn't come that way.
Anyone know if they won't directly bolt on?
