First, your car looks really good. Really, really good!

I'd first drive a car with C/O's, just to gauge the difference. It also would be good to check the spring rates with what you have now, and what the CO's will offer. CO's do allow raising/lowering the car for the different seasons, and some have ride adjustments as well. It you track your car, adjustable CO's would be the best to meet all your needs.

I do not track my car, so I prefer a non-adjustable CO's. I just raise and lower based on the seasons.

As for the front bar...there has been a lot written on this. I'm firmly in the camp of skipping the front bar, as going bigger will offset the gains in reducing understeer you achieved with the rear bar.

That said, it depends on how/where you drive. And, what handling characteristics you like. Then try to ride in others vehicles that have the changes you are looking at.

Any significant difference in ride quality between the CO and springs?
