Your criteria is spot-on for buying the Birds B1 suspension kit. Only issue is that it's not cheap, especially so, given you'll be having shipping costs and import costs from the UK.

However, it's a great suspension improvement over stock, much more compliant so massive improvement in ride quality (as long as you bin the RFT's as well) and much better steering response combined with a little extra oversteer.
