My only mods to date are:
Replaced runflats with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus (225/255)
Bilstein HD's
The car now drives like any other sporty car. It no longer feels like the wheels are made of cast iron. I just can't get over how much it improved things. I will say the Bilsteins are firm, and you can really feel the road now, but it's not at all unpleasant.
By the way, I have a 2012 with the linear springs, and if you don't want to lower your car, the stock springs are plenty stiff enough.

If you keep the stock springs, I like the Koni FSDs. Maybe the handling isn't as good as the Bilsteins and maybe it is. But I believe the ride is sublime. They're not designed for stiff springs, Koni warns you about that.
