Default Struts/Shocks/Quads/Springs

I want to get a new set of struts, springs, shocks, and quads for my car (never been replaced - 105K mi on the car and this will be done a bit at a time). After reading a bit, it looks like I don't have to worry about cc's since I won't be going past 1.5 inches. In short, I was looking at agx, but after reading a bit more it sounded like they will not last past a year :-/ (this is my DD so I would put on around 30k+ per year) . What is the best bang for buck suspension? Also, what type of quads are best? I also noticed bilstein is one of our sponsors - do we get a discount off?

Sorry for all the questions, but we have to start out from somewhere

Bilstein is nice. I got gabriels and i love em. Id say if you have the cash go for Tokicos. . . .

If you want a nice setup think about tubular upper and lower control arms and weld in full length subframe connectors too. . . .

IMO don't buy new Quad shocks. There only function is to help illuminate wheel hop. You would be better off getting aftermarket Rear Upper and Lower Control arms and just take the Quad's off. But if you really want them your probably gonna have to go OEM on them because I don't believe anyone makes an aftermarket set.
