What are you wanting to do with the car? Thats what really determines what kind of suspension to build.

Street performance?
Drag race?
Road race?
Autox?

The stock suspension is excellent for drag racing. Pretty damn good for street as well.

My personal school of thought is stock SE struts and springs with RB swaybar - that way the car, not your kidneys, soaks up the bumps in a straight line but it corners like it's on rails.

i went with B&G springs and tokico adjustable shocks.

I chose B&G because they had the lowest advertised ride height.

its not as low as I want it(pretty much on the ground)

but it looks good, and its really even.

i have seen some pics of the racing beat and eibach setups.

there all really low in the front and really high in the back.

I didnt want that.
