Koni FSD

Many of the coilovers also do an excellent job of both, but $ more...in the range of $1000-2400. This includes KW (V1 and Street Comfort) and Ohlins. Others can do a great job as well.

I had Koni FSD for a couple years and have to say they're a junk damper; they're inconsistent and underdamped on sharp impacts. Koni Sport is a good damper and provides good handling and ride quality with oem springs.
Irish: Getting rid of the runflat tires improves ride quality and grip more than anything. Koni Sports or Bilstein HD with your oem springs will further that improvement. Those Contis have soft sidewalls so the turn in response will slow down. There's a trade off for everything.
