Suspension and rims for rough roads

Hi everyone! So i am really new here, was reading forum every now and then but never posted. So i recently bought Toyota Vitz RS NCP91 and after driving it for a week got some questions. Stock 16' rims and 195/50 tires are great when it comes to handling but it sure is hard to drive on russian roads. We do have good roads with nice pavement, mostly outskirts of the city, but inside the town asphalt is mostly terrible with lots of cracks, "waves" and holes. So to save tires and rims i have to drive really carefuly. My previous car was '05 Mazda Demio (mazda 2) with 14/175/65 tires which absorbed most of the impact. But the handling was shite.

So the thing is, i really enjoy stiff tight handling stock RS wheels and shocks give, but i am afraid our glorious russian roads will end wheel bearings pretty quick. I like my cars to have some outstanding feature so i was thinking if i can't have low sporty RS maybe i can have "wannabe" rally style RS? By "wannabe" rally i mean installing performance shocks with higher springs and 185/60/15 rims so i can drive these bumpy roads even faster normal cars do. I talked to the owner of this rally Yaris and she told me that she got MCA suspension on her car. Buuut maybe you guys can recommend more affordable option? Would love to hear your opinions. Thanks.
