Go for a full koni or spax suspension kit and it will look good and handle well.

As above, a full kit will make it sit nicely. Although if you go for spax I would go adjustable. I have fixed rate spax kit on mine and its a little bit crashy.

You can pick your spring rates when ordering coilovers too

I would just fit coilovers if fitting a whole kit

I have Koni adjustable dampers with AVO -35mm springs, sits lovely and the ride isn't too harsh.
