I am in the same boat and will be upgrading in the spring. Remember that the better handling you get the less 'comfortable' it will be. What's your intended use of the car? For a daily driver I would probably say Hotchkis springs as they're about equal to the stock spring rates so ride should be similar, the drop is realistic, and they are cheap. The RSR springs are getting some good feedback too, but are about as strong as you should go without upgrading the struts. I personally prefer a firm suspension for turn in and I like the reduced body roll so I am looking at either the Tanabe's, RalliArt's or the RSR 2000TI's. If you have lots of cash a coilover will give you more options the JIC's and OHLINS seem to rate very high but will ride rougher than stock to match their race car handling. Check the spring rate sticky (about 14 pages of info!) for more good comments and research everything you can as knowledge it free. {

Biggest inital improvement with least payoff in ride is to upgrade the rear sway bar to an adjustable one-I like the Perrin as it has upgraded mounts, but Cusco and Hotchkis get good reviews as well. Road Race's is dirt cheap and they are known for making Mitsu's turn.

Good luck!

Ide get some Tein SS or Flex. The best part about the Teins is the EDFC. I will be getting some SS's with the EDFC when I get the money. You can slam it if thats what your into or lower it as much as you see fit. There also very adjustable. Ide say get those. PM me if you would like a price on them, I get 'em cheap .
