My setup for what it's worth:
I have a copy of the Harvey Bailey set up. 190lb rear springs 600lb front with a 27mm front anti roll bar and no rear bar. Ride height about 35mm lower than stock, Koni reds set to 2/3 stiff front 2/3 soft rear, running 195 60 15 Pirelli (or 195 50 15 Yoko) I find the handling really good and the ride fine for even a long run.
No plans to change this setup - the only other thing I would like to do is a Panhard rod on the rear.

I am running 195/60R15's on stock 15x4.5 steel rims with Koni reds and stock springs. I believe the tires lowered my GTV by about a 1/2". I want to upgrade my suspension with stiffer and slightly shorter springs. However, I am concerned about rubbing issues. When I had the tires mounted, I was concerned about the rear tires rubbing the limiting straps and on the inside of the wheel well. I don't think the tires are rubbing, but they're pretty close.
I may wind up with a set of IAP springs since Long Beach roads are so old and full of pot holes. Stiffer springs might rattle my non-existant fillings loose.
