gotta be able to "stick" the corners even if theres bumps n dips..
Are you still on stock suspension?
The Tein's lowering springs are progressive and the 1.9in drop makes a huge difference. I remember before I installed the lowering springs, I had a lot of body roll. Now I feel like on rails.
Before I got the Bilstein B8 struts, I thought about getting the Tein's Flex Z, but now, I'm content with my suspension. I think I'd just add rear sway bar, get B8 shocks for the rear, and maybe front tower bar.

I am back using the TRS sportivo suspension currently, thats pretty close to stock height and rides nice, the springs could work good for you and are still around, little stiffer and tiny bit lower? I guess tho you have snow to deal with.

eh snows not the issue to be honest..and the snow tires are as tall as i can fit

its the roads i go burn up that are the issue....the super fun twistys have alot of odd dips n such, but were talkin twisty mountain roads that run like a rollercoaster...so youll hit hard dips and the chins will scrape....im at stock hight ..stiffer springs would help a little..so a tiny drop with some stiff would be fine
