YES!!! The mods that have made my car more fun to drive daily have been suspension and brake related (this includes good tires) . Just go easy on the springs. Less in the back is better.
Don't get me wrong, the engine mods are great too (cammed LS1 here), but I don't go WOT and get the full enjoyment of it as often as I work out my suspension and brakes.
IMO suspension and brakes should be modded before anything else.

What ever you do don't get LCRs with poly.on both ends,unless you don't plan on taking it around any corners. Make
sure one end of the LCRs has rod ends and if you don't mind a little more
road noise get rod ends on both ends for total suspension flex with no binding, unlike with poly. on both ends which binds badly.

If you don't do anything else, get a front swaybar from Strano. If I got a new 4th gen it would be my very first mod. But yeah, suspension upgrades are worth it. But choose your parts carefully.
On LCAs BMR rubber/poly is a good option for a daily driver.
