Best suspension set-up w/o alot off $$.

My shocks are going with the cheap coilovers I had on. I was hoping to get a new set-up, able to drop the car w/o sacrificing the ride quality. I was thinking about tanabe sustex but thats too much $$. Any suggestions? Thanks

Koni's. They should be a much better match for your springs. They can handle up to 400# spring with no problem. Or if you want a better spring, there are a lot of choices and the depending on how much comfort you want there are several choices, like Eibach pro kit, Whiteline, B&G, Suspesion Techniques, H&R, Prodrive, Perrin and so on.

I have no experience with Konis but i run KYB AGX (GC8) with H&R springs. The drop is low but it does the job. Daily driven with lots of canyon runs and track days wiht no complaints. Good for what you need and not harsh, ive had babys and adults fall asleep in my car with this suspension.

I've heard that the H&Rs can be a little too soft for how low they are. I've also heard nothing but good about the Prodrive P1s which lower about 1.5 on the front and about 0.75 on the rear. This gives the car a very even stance, with the fender gaps being even and just about perfect IMO. You can also run the Prodrives with just about any strut you want.
