A possibly dumb question about suspension

Will upgrading my suspension really make that much of a difference? (I'm running an R-34 with stock exterior, Stage 2 Drift (its amazingly quick), Lights, AWD, and little else), I know the better turning radius that also comes with the kit isin't neccessarily a bad thing, I'm just kinda frazzled about what to do to my car next.

the softer the suspension the better that wheel will "stick" to the ground so if you want to have the back end hold better put softer springs back there

Hmm..thanks for your help, I need all the grip I can get at the back end of my car (I've had several horrifying flips, the only casualty has been a mirror though. As you might have guessed, I don't drive with the mirrors in anymore..heh), I just may pick up some new ones sometime this week, or maybe some better tires..

The suspension made a huge difference on my car when I got it. It went from spinning out on every turn to just plain sticking where I put it.
