Look into the whiteline handling kits

SAS in auckland are the importers

I installed the whiteline handling kit on my fx with standard springs and shocks (for now). It made a dramatic improvement, especially using the alignment specs they suggested.
But if you drive on gravel or uneven tarmac roads then dont go to overboard with the toe out on the rear or your car will be too tailey.
