Default suspension

okay so after my exhuast work im gonna go ahead and take care of my suspension.....what i need to know cause as far as suspension goes i know very little.....i know it affects the aerodynamics of the car. lower to the ground the less drag idea which can increase perfomance but other than that.....no idea......this is not my daily driver so yeah however.......i do like to take it on the street or the local track and mess around and see whats out there...so i need to know what suspension set up would do me better and what exactly am i looking for?

how much are you wanting to spend (ballpark)? You could just go with springs which will help with wind drag a bit, cornering stability, and definitely looks or you could go all out and spend some serious cash on struts/shocks, cc plates, stabilizing bars, etc....

what direction do you want to go?

ride quality, looks, cornering, weight transfer? i.e. - DD, road course, drag?

if you want something that you can have fun with on back country winding road i would get:

eibach pro kit orH&R sports/supersports
strut tower brace
adjustable shocks/struts
upper and lower control arms
panhard bar
subframes
C/C plates if you end up needing them

I would go witha tubular K member and coil overs. If you do the install yourself you should be able to do it for right at 2k. I think you will be amazed at difference this will make. It will improve ride, handling, slight drop, and reduce weight.
