You have some homework to do if building an aftermarket suspension setup.

Just remember that the chassis can never be too stiff but your suspension can be. A suspension being too stiff means horrible handling as they are supposed to absorb the bumps and such so your car does not lose traction while maneuvering. Keeping by these basic automotive principles, you can easily build a car that handles incredibly well while maintaining a ride that is easily more comfortable than an IS350's sport suspension.

These guys can show you which suspension is best for whatever application, but if you want handling, get some bars and cross braces as well.

The best mods you can do to improve handling are the sway bars and tires, then struts.
