Suspension on a Budget of $400

I am looking at getting setup with some aftermarket suspension on my 07 WRX. I need to stay under $400 with the alignment afterwords, so am looking to spend about $340 or maybe a little more for parts. I will do all the labor myself. Was hoping I could get a few recommendations for springs / struts combos. I am looking at megan racing springs, h&r springs, etc... Thanks guys!

for that price, you're looking at a set of springs and camber bolts. check out RCE or swift springs.

I should have mentioned that I'd like to do a straight swap with springs + struts. Not looking to just do springs. Is this my best bet for that price range?

your best bet is to go with springs + sway bars. but thats just from my experience of shopping around.
