I have a car with AWD, lipoly, suspension, bearings, stage 2 motor (with middle gearing) and it handles decently well. On a track surface it's still a bit difficult to just slide out of a corner, providing you have glued and sticky tires.
Suspension does make a difference. You look at the weight of a modded xmod with all that stuff compared to stock, specially with a new chassis, and you'll see how the stock suspension acts as compared to the stiff one. There's loss of power due to binding and such with a suspension that's too soft. Plus with the suspension you can set to toe-in which is great for faster cars that need to turn.
