    Buying a new suspension setup is basically a toss up between comfort and handling...
    If it is a daily driver, my personal opinion is that i would not put coilovers on it.
    I know a lot of people will disagree with me on this, but coilovers seem to just be the new big thing, as the prices have dropped substantially over the past few years.
    It is very possible to get a very good handling package, while maintaining some amount of comfort for the occupants of your car.

    I would probably go for a progressive rate spring set, something like whiteline does, then some koni yellow shocks, as the damper on these is still reasonably easily adjustable if you do decide to do some track work.
    I would also upgrade swaybars and install front/rear camber kits if you want to go to the next level, and of course strut braces front and rear also for rigidity!

    If you hunt around you will find that buying all these items, you will still come out with more change than you would buying any decent coilovers!

    I put a whiteline kit including most of these items in my EG and purchase price came out well under 2k with some haggling

    I agree with Kiz on this, too many people say get coilovers, but I guess they only ever had Kings springs on cheap shocks.
    I have ITR stock suspension with Spoon progressive springs coming soon, and currently the setup has been unbeatable for quality on 99% of roads.
