Improving Handling and Ride Quality

Improving Handling and Ride Quality
Currently I am running the Eibach Prokit and Fox body KYB GR2's on my 03 Mustang GT. All other Suspension is stock. I am looking for the following :
1). Great Ride quality, currently the ride is pretty stiff and bumps shake the whole car
2). Better handling through corners.
3). More of Drop, the Prokit seems to be only a very small drop (even settled)
Please provide suggestions on better springs, shocks and control arms that work well together. I am not ready to step up to coil overs just yet.
Thanks.

I also have this problem... I have the pro-kit and stock everything else. I just got some Tokico shocks/struts from stangsuspension.com and I will let you know how much better they are... They might be the same as the KYG's... but they might be better... These Tokico's are half the price of Billstiens... Im not spending 600 bucks on shocks/struts... sorry.
If they are a big upgrade I'll let you know.

There has got to be some spring / shock combo that does ride well, I realize the challenge is the straight axle but still, there has to be some properly valved shocks for lowered stangs out there somewhere =)

At least our steering is pretty good.

Go and look into coilovers, the way the springs are setup over the shocks/struts allow for a much better compression of the shocks struts dampening ability. I have the full mm coilover setup and love it. Also the ability to adjust the height is nice.
I would also look into a bumpsteer kit to adjust the front geometry from lowering the stang with the coilovers.
