"cornerand handle better" You mean feel better in cornering and handling.

Springs and shocks are there to control tire changes due to forces and body roll.No matter what you do to the springs or shocks or sway bars you won't affect handling [possible G in a slalom/skid pad] by 10%. Assuming that the tire remain in a reasonable camber angle.......[slip angle changes].

90% of handling is tires and the weight on them.

Study the TireRack suspension test [springs, shocks, bars].

The the under/oversteer ratios and turn in and recovery are easily adjusted with the suspension........the feel.

The problem with McPearson struts is little camber gain with body roll so you can restrict body roll [stiffer springs/bars] and set the tires more negative so that they are level or not too positive at the G loads you want to achieve!

By design cars are under tired on the front so that this is the limiting factor.

"No matter what you do to the springs or shocks or sway bars you won't affect handling"

-So those people that have installed Tein HE's w/ ST sway bars, they haven't affected their handling?

so what would be a pretty good street/monthly track suspension setup....i noticed that my bushings are worn but dont know of a company that makes a full bushing kit...i think the new bushings would help stiffen up the car....am i wrong??
