advice needed: what to do with v8's...

I need your advice:

I have a takeoff set of USDM sti springs/struts/tophats. Currently on the car are 18" wheels, cusco f/r sways with endlinks, STi aluminum control arms, and Group N bushings. My car is a daily driver and soon to be occasional auto/rallyxer. It handles ok now...a little too much body roll, but its very tall looking with the 18"s...looks like its on tip-toes to me.

Should I: 1)leave 'em be...theyre low enough/sporty enough from the factory
2) sell 'em, buy some used KYB's and springs to go with
3) put springs on them (progress springs?)

Thanks for any input, it is very appreciated.

I heard that pinks work really well with the V8s (performance wise)
but it might not give you the drop that you want
