Default how do you make a mk4 handle?

what is the absolute best setup for the mk4 escort on the road?
my mk4 has quite a high spec but its not grippy enough for me.
i think the coilovers are ruining the handling as my car is stripped out and very light.
i was thinking more of koni's or simular for suspension.
what ride height ? i know too low ruins them too.
what about wheels??
i found that sierra cosworth wheels offered loads of grip on pull off but were to wide when cornering as the car would slide too easy.
i currently have 6.5j 16's with 195/45/ tyres but they arnt the best.
i know that std 15's would be better but i wanted to stay 16's really so i could fit bigger brakes.
whats your ideas?????????
dont tell me 17's as they dont handle well on such a light car this is a fact!!
