same here. i love them. i have same setup. the handling is amazing ride is fine but some bumps do get serious. i like a stiff ride anyways.
Stock springs with Bilstein TC = "Most Comfortable" Everything else is a compromise between looks, comfort and handling.
The Bilstein sports are a good choice for a cupkit. I think the ones I have are Bilstein HD. They came off my old vr gti. So far Im happy with them
I put Koni yellows and Mazdaspeed springs on my wife's MX-5 two summers ago and we both love it.
Stock springs with koni fsd. Many rave about them.

I finally got a chance to install the new Bilstein sport shocks today, despite the rain. I can't give a full review of them because it was rainy and wet today. But, they are significantly stiffer.
Has 3.5L head conversion - same as period Alpina B9. 5-speed, LSD, Bilsteins and Recaro interior all from factory. Great fun to drive. Very reliable - and even economical.
While you could also try Koni yellows after you rebuild the suspension, in my experience they would not be the best choice for ride comfort on rough roads because the bump dampening is NOT adjustable, (nor is the Koni reds), and the yellow dampening rates are tailored more towards track use than the reds.
