to make it harder you want stiffer shockers, im on spax coilovers and it makes loads of difference, gmax are cheap but you get what you pay for

a spring kit will get rid of a lot of the body role and will make it handle a little better so if ur not planning on spending that much i wud just lower it on springs and get sum better tyres on it if i were you. or you could buy a cheaper suspension kit like g maz so you have uprated shocks aswel as springs, but as said previous you do get wot u pay for.

Make sure you go for a full suspension kit set up, just springs will certainly give you a firmer ride, but it will also be very bouncy. Also shortened springs with full length dampers is never an ideal set up.
