So I was in a complainers camp due to stiff yet bouncy handling, and it was probably the only major issue I can name for the whole car.
Thinking that if it's already stiff, lowering will not make it much worse, but lower center of gravity may improve side-to-side oscillations, I gave it a shot with custom 3D-printed height sensor links. What happened next was truly unbelievable - the car handles like a dream ! Not only lower CG improved all handling and decreased acceleration pitch, but the suspension got softer against bumps and roughnesses as well. That was so unexpected that I went back to stock links to reconfirm, and there's no mistake - much better bump absorption yet more stable at the same time.
Drop is about 1.25" front, 1.5" rear.
Upgraded link size - 80 mm front, 60 mm rear (against 70 mm stock all around)
