Replacing OEM suspension

My car has about 60k miles on it and is riding a little harsh now. Anyone have any suggestions on what kind of setup I should get and where? I am a total noob so I am not sure on what I need to replace. I want a good quality ride. Is there anything better than the factory setup? Thanks in advance.

What kind of G are you driving? On my 05 6spd Sedan, I really started to feel the body roll kick in, so I just ordered a set of Bilstein HD shocks & struts off tire rack. I'll let you know how they compare to OEM sports tuned suspension package. It also appears that my passenger's side rear shock has developed a strange metal scraping sound when the weight of the car shifts. My body shop is going to take a look at it during the shock replacement to see it really is the shock (as so far that is what the dealership has determined it to be).

Yes please let us know about those Bilstein HDs. I've been thinking about those too, but they are a lot more expensive than some of the other options. At 96,000 miles I'm seriously overdue for some shocks.
