I have Koni reds in both of mine, front and back. It took a bit of work to get the big bore 55mm ones in the front - I had to enlarge the central hole and offset mount the lower shocker bolt holes. The smaller bore Koni Reds just slot straight in. It certainly helps with the boatiness.

Some springs will help .....probably 600 lb/in spring rate for the street (standard is only 220!).

I'd also recommend a good alignment - if you are seriously going to be spending that much time on the scarier side of 100 mph then get them to dial in a bit more caster (I am running 4 degrees). By using longer upper control arm bolts and a big shim (read big chunk of aluminium), I was able to get negative camber up to 4.75 degrees.
