Default STB or LCB and L-tuned shocks or springs??

What is the best bang for the buck if I had to choose only one thing. A STB or LCB? Which brand would you go with Tom's or TRD? My intentions are to firm up the ride just a bit without going to l-tuned shocks and springs. This brings me to my next question.

Has anyone installed just the l-tuned shocks without the l-tuned springs or visa versa? I would consider the shocks by itself and not the springs. The springs drop the car about an inch and can cause scraping and alignment problems. Since I drive with a packed car the springs are really not an option.

The setup I have in mind would be either a STB and or LCB and L-tuned shocks and L-tuned ECU. I am only looking for marginal improvement over the stock setup for slightly better feel and handeling.

I know there trade off's between luxury ride vs. firmer ride. If it makes any difference I am leaning towards a luxury feel vs. harsher and firmer ride.
