I just did the suspension on my MR2, one thing to note is that if the car has some miles on it and the shocks are old, getting new shocks with stiffer springs might not compromise comfort. My car is more affected by bumps now, but the better dampening makes each bump slightly more comfortable. I pumped up the tires a little more than usual afterward, so I think overall the ride is a tiny bit worse.

I didn't get fatter sway bars since I didn't want to spend the money, but the stiffer springs reduced my body roll and I find that inspires MUCH more confidence, especially since I don't have camber adjustment to compensate for crappy suspension geometry.
