You can do a search and should find anything you are looking for, but basically this is what it boils down to.

You can go up to 350# springs on the front and 550# springs on the rear with the stock struts and shocks before you start getting underdamped. Over that I recommend going with the MM race spec Bilstein struts and Bilstein 00R spec shocks. You will definitely need to get the MM caster/camber plate with any combination. A 350# in the front and 550# in the rear is what most people who daily drive with occasional open track go with. My car is more aggressive and I run 425# springs with mm race spec struts on the front and 650# springs with 00R spec shocks on the rear. My car is daily driven and with almost all rubber removed running on polyurethane bushings I don't feel the ride quality is any worse then any Z-06 or M-3s that I have rode in or my Mom's 2002 3-series BMW which I have driven.
