Ofcourse she will perform much better with renewed suspension but the mix is all important.
You want handling but still a cushy ride when the g/f is in the car, the perfect comprimise is hard to find.
Most aftermarket coils are up to 25% firmer than standard
Then add Larger sway bars to the firmness
Poly Urethane bushes add again
Then the shocks.

I have run many combinations in my AU, never again am I going to use urethane.
Get the low coils and konis and you will already get 100% improvement in handling.
If you require more then go the sway bars.

Yeh it is actually. 150K's actually :o

Well, I don't want the ride to be "soft' - I accept it will be hard, and don't mind it riding hard. But, when I do take corners slow, and drive around my parents or my girlfriend (rare) - I don't want it to feel extremely hard. I don't know if this will make sense though
