Question front suspension upgrade without lowering?

Looking to keep my stock height, but change shocks/coils to improve front end handling/dampening. Suggestions?

Your not probably going to find springs that are the same as stock height. Either just go with an aftermarket damper or get a full coilover system with height adjustment and keep it close to stock height.

Since tires are 95% and suspension is 5%................finding a higher load index tire for the front or reducing the transfer load [by reducing weight].

All oem designs are set so the front tires are overloaded to increase the non linearity of the tire slip curve...............many times front sway bars are too stiff for the tires ability.
