I have a 94 touring:

I need new springs and struts.

The car is a daily driver and I will only be taking my car out to the track like 1-2 times a year.

I wont be autocrossing either so I really dont need a high proformance suspension setup.

What setup do you guys think will work for a 1500-1700 dollar budget?

Do you think I will need coilovers?

Im really thinking about the mazdaspeed coil over setup since it is in my price range.
Or should I save some money and go with the koni's or Tokico's

While I am also doing my suspension should I also replace my strut bars as well?

I will be replacing my bushings with a set of jimlabs.

Thanks guys

For $1500-1700 total, you might get the best performance from some stock-style upgrade springs (like H&R, Eibach, Racing Beat), some Koni Sport , Bilstein HD, or Tokico Illumina shocks, some Widefoot or other sway bar mounts, and some new sway bars, and maybe some strut bars.

springs $250
shocks $450
mounts $280
bars $280
front strut bar $170
rear strut bar $150
---------------
total $1580

That is a pretty nice package for the price. You can save more money by buying someone's discarded 93 rear sway bar (stiffer than the 94) and maybe a 93 rear strut bar (I think I read this was stiffer than 94, but maybe the stiff one was only on R models? Anyone know for sure?).

However, the MazdaSpeed coil-over kit has gotten good reviews from people I trust that bought it, and they will likely be better than a stock-style upgrade in that area and give more room for wider wheels if you plan to upgrade those in the future. But you'll still have the stock sway bars and mounts, etc, so the overall effect might not be as good if this will be your only round of suspension mods for a while.
