Obviously, removing them and replacing with coil overs is the preferred choice. But I don't track my car, so, don't need the flexibility of swapping out springs. And rear coil overs seem fairly pricey.
I replaced mine with 30mm bars a few years back. If I can do it, anyone can. I did not take the measurements before I started as I should have, so considered myself lucky to only have to index them twice (looked like a 4x4 the first time).

*Edit: I'd be remiss if I did not say that a few very generous Dorkis helped me with disassembly, and got me started on reassembly.
