F10 - Ultimate Driving Machine With Coilovers?

I am thinking of swapping out the floaty OEM struts/springs for bilstien struts and eibach springs. the chassis in this car feels very heavy, solid and stable, generally setup for a straight line but I have a feeling its reluctance to corner is due to the soft struts rather then the chassis itself, and that the chassis has potential to handle well especially paired to the all aluminum suspension and stellar weight distrbution.

so.. here are my two questions. how does the F10 chassis respond to coilovers, and is straight line cruising/highway driving impeded or better with aftermarket suspension?

most importantly and the only real dealbreaker for me is how it will ride on toronto roads.
