i'm buying some tokico illuminas. they're badass because they're adjustable so you can ride them soft during the week and set them to stiff when you decide you want to have fun with them. as far as springs go, if you want a softer ride (i'm assuming you do since it's going to be a daily driver) you can go with eibachs - they're progressive. it also depends on how much of a drop you want on your car, the pro kit only offers like 0.8 inch drop. i'm purchasing some tanabe GF210's that give like 1.5inch drop. that's just me though.

too much drop is not a good thing. you need shorter rear shocks, and the geometry starts to get funky too

I guess my racing beat springs are unpopular now a days. A good spring but a little harsh ride. You'll get used to it i say.

For suspension, at most, I don't want to sink much more then 2Grand cnd, into it. Around that ball park.

Good struts spring sway bars end links and poly bushings and you will be set, no need for a fancy setup.

But I want a fancy setup, something that I can adjust, so that if I am cruising the city then it'll be a fairly easy ride. and if I am raping stuff on the track, it'll be stuck to the ground.
