I'm running 750lb springs on coilovers in the front of my car... It rides actually better than it did with cut lowering springs

Yup, 5664s are a must with 17 or larger wheels, and as mentioned the tall upper and lower ball joints are a nice touch too. I like the Hellwig "pro touring" bar as well, I've had it on a couple of cars (and even have one on my wife's truck). And then there are the shocks which control the motion - KYBs at a minimum, Bilsteins if you can afford it.

Bad thing about stiffer springs is that they make the frame and body flex more. That is why you need good body mounts, no rust damage, and frame and body reinforcing. Changing the suspension on these cars leads to a domino effect.

I was going to add a Gran Prix bar but my oil cooler is in the way.
