Depends on the direction you want to go with your car. What are some of your personal goals with the car?

i dont really want to spend to much on the suspension because the end goal is to make a autocross car and in going to accomplish that with a cobra IRS so i dont wana buy new fancy suspension just to scrap it later most id do as far as rear suspension is a GT take off rear end

Coil-overs are probably better for autox anyway, although they might bump you a division too idk.

I was just talking about up front anyway, but why would they create such a huge oversteer problem??

no if i do just the front and not the rear it could cause the front to grip so much better than the rear that it will swing out. which i kinda have a problem with anyways
