OK, so I am back from overseas and I've been researching a lot about "coilovers vs. springs", and I decided I am going to go with coilovers mainly coz it's gonna work out to be about the same price or a bit cheaper anyway..
If I go with Ground Controls and Konis:
Ground Controls are $346 AUD + shipping $89 AUD = $435

Koni Yellows for my car are $800 AUD, so all together that's $1235 for a Koni Yellow shocks and Ground Control Springs setup.
While if I go with coilovers,
I'll probably go with BC Racing BR series, costing $1299 with free shipping, from eBay (JustJap).

Or I can save $100 and go for the BC Racing entry model coilovers the V1 Series, they are $1,199 with free shipping, from eBay (JustJap).
Worth it?

Are there any other options I should consider in this price range? In terms of performance, would a coilover setup work out better than going shockers and springs separate?
The car would rarely be tracked, but I still wouldn't mind having a decently fast street car.. May be not fast yet until I do a K-swap and get rid of that D17 engine but a nice handling car would be fun to drive for the time being.. :p
