I've decided to keep my car until next year. I want to setup the suspension properly but don't want to spend too much (contradiction? :P).
I'm looking at either a combination of custom height springs and sports shocks or affordable adjustable coilovers. I'll also need a camber kit.
My budget at the moment is $1,500.
Anyway, what do you guys recommend? Who should i talk to?

For some decent handling:
1. Ditch the 18s and get 16s (max)
2. Go for Koni fully adjustables (if not getting coilovers)
3. 20-22mm Rear bar
4. Caster kit at the front with as much caster as possible.
:)
EDIT: What's happening to Project BOOST? :(

I'm selling them and slapping the stockies back on... ;)
2. Go for Koni fully adjustables (if not getting coilovers)
Price? Where can i get them?
3. 20-22mm Rear bar
Do you mean strut bar? Or tie bar? I've already got the factory anti-sway bars that should do for now.
$$$?

Hell no......that's like a twig compared to a REAL sway bar (I'm talking 20mm+)
Ring around for Koni's, but I know Whiteline would install them + springs for $1300 (yes inlcluding labour!) so call afew places up. Should be able to pickup fully adjustable Konis for around the 1K mark.

Hmmm, i just don't want to end up spending too much. I need the cash for some other mods... ;)

springs and shocks were 1320 when i checked, not including installation. i think installation was another $250.
