Help Making A Build

[MDRN]

I'll soon be getting a GT Premium without the PP and am looking to improve the ride quality of what will be my daily driver. I've never modified a cars suspension before and I need help figuring out a build.

Option 1
FRPP Handling Pack
Steeda G-Trac

This seems like a great option, new shocks, struts, toe links, jounce bumpers, everything. My concern is over the harshness of the ride. I've read the thread reviewing this and people seem very satisfied but am worried over the "intended for track use" part of the description for the handling package from retailers. So far those who have it seem to like it. However it seems people have universal praise for the Steeda Progressive springs for their ride quality hence...

Option 2 - The Steeda Build
Steeda Front and Rear Sways
Steeda Progressive Springs
Steeda G-Trac
PP Rear Toe Links or Steeda Adjustable Toe Links (overkill?)

I've read conflicting thoughts on the needing to upgrade shocks and struts when lowering cars, but it seems the consensus is that a mild 1" drop doesn't warrant that. Would it be beneficial to get the FRPP Strut and Shock kit as well or the jounce bumpers? I'm concerned that the base GT suspension won't handle the change as well as a car that already had and upgraded suspension from the PP.

Miscellaneous Parts
Finally I'd appreciate some thoughts on the following. Are they worth having on DD that would see some spirited weekend driving but not necessarily see the track.
Steeda IRS Subframe Bushings
Steeda IRS Subframe Support
BMR/Steeda Vertical Links
Rear Differential Bushings

I know this is a long post and I appreciate any help or suggestions.

I like option 2 for what you are after. Steeda springs, sways, and G trac will tighten things up considerably.

And you will be fine on the stock shocks/struts.

I did the Steeda ultra light springs, front and rear sway bars and the BMR cradle lock out last weekend. The car is amazing now.

If it helps, I am going to do the FRPP handling package with the G Trac and IRS Stop the Hop package.
There's one or two others with the exact same thing, they rave about it. Haven't made up my mind yet about the differential bushings yet, which is why I haven't done it yet.

"Ride Quality" don't do anything till the shocks wear out. You won't get a better ride than stock from modifications.

I've found its better to stick with one company the mix and match parts from company A and company B. The parts will still work but I feel I will get a better result from having one company suspension parts on the car then two companies parts. Reason being that companies design all there stuff to work together and they can fine tune it.
