Re: Koni VS Lakewood
Lakewoods are for street strip (ie drag race) and are valved to help lift the nose and provide motion transfer to load the rears. in other words, they are a "mid compression valve/low rebound valved strut". Konis are more for street /light road track use. They are mid compression and high rebound and are better suited to control body roll rates into cornering.

Re: Koni VS Lakewood
There's a lot you can do. Subframe connectors make a big difference if you haven't done those yet. Most people recommend doing those first. I've seen Vetruck say the raised strut mounts with spherical bushings make a big difference, I'd take his word on that. You can get a set of sway bars (36/24 mm) out of a WS6 car. There's a whole long list of things you can do that will make a nice difference. Depends on how much you want to spend on it.
