I think you have many options, most of the quality aftermarket dampers (Koni, bilstein) etc will provide better performance. If you are not at all interested in a track setup, I would consider a set of progressive springs (take your pick, mild Swift springs, H&R street etc) and a quality damper. You may be better off with Koni FSD which is more a ride focused upgrade, or go with adjustable Konis that you can manually dial down the dampening to provide a good ride.

I would shy away from the Bilstein line (B6 or B8) only because they are known (at least in my experience) to be a bit harsher than Konis. I have a Bilstein B12 kit myself, but I'm used to/prefer the feel of the Bilstein dampers.

If you feel the lack of control from the rear specifically, I would look at upgrading your rear subframe bushings as well, and perhaps the rear upper shock mounts (Dinan sells a set that adds 10mm of travel, which helps the damper control the rear wheel movements better).
