Default Are there any aftermarket strut options for adjustable suspension...

My girlfriend has a 98 ES300 with adjustable suspension and she was complaining about the cars handling, basically saying it is to boaty and not as crisp as my Cobra. I was thinking about some after market struts and higher spring rate springs. Are there any after market struts that retain use of the adjustable suspension?

If not what other suspension upgrades are available for these cars? What makes the biggest difference?(I've already thought about some sticky tires)

the 01' Cobra had the IRS right? Tires are the number one in my opinion. Always what I do first to fix handling. I'd just go lower profile, these cars ride on 65 series tires stock I mean they roll over and play dead no matter how much money you spend. I had arguably the best Ultra high performance all season tires on it the michelin Pilot exalto a/s and it still sucked. I think it's exactly the same with the bridgestone knock offs I have on there now.
