Default suspension options

Just looking for any opinions on suspension setups that people have enjoyed. One of my front springs is broken so I'll be doing a little upgrade. Right now i'm considering H&R super sport springs, tokico performance shocks (blue), caster/camber plates, and probably some offset steering rack bushings. I'm looking for increased handling and a nice stance for the street, so any input on whether this would be a nice setup would be much appreciated!

If you can afford it go with coilovers. That way you can change the ride height to what you want. Also look into a bumpsteer kit if you drop the car a lot.

Im running MM stuff with Bilstien coilovers and love the car the car handles and looks.

With my bro driver we took a flat curve around a runway at 85 mph and we wernt even pushing the car. Granted that was with a torque arm, panhard bar, and rear coilovers that match the fronts.

I would love to have a full MM setup for those turns. I love taking off ramps fast

My money situation is pretty tight thanks to college, but I agree that it would be great to get a setup like that. I'm only going to be able to spend around a grand.
