Default 128K Crossfire suspension refresh.

I just acquired a 2005 Crossfire Convertible 3.2 N/A. It's a fun car to drive but I am concerned that the struts are not performing as well as they could. I have worked in the vehicle service industry for some time and we preach that every 50k, struts will lose effectiveness and cost 10ft of braking distance. That being said, none of my struts are leaking and the car handles quite well. I would like to determine what would be the best course of action to freshen up the handling on this car.

If I do struts, which ones are going to require the least aftermarket adjustable parts to make them work. It looks like koni, kyb, bilstein all offer options.

Then, springs, ebiach and few others I found.

Will in need camber/caster adjustments if I do these? I assume I should also do the strut mounts.

I've seen threads on the steering stabilizer as well.

I am looking for decent performance, I don't need to go much lower, I wont' be tracking the car but sometimes I drive it like Im on the track.

Recommendations are appreciated.
