what suspension mods to get?

waht mods should i get for my car? i don't use it at the track at all. mostly for street use. is it really necessary to get the coilovers, strut bars, and rods? or should i just get the springs and shocks?

well I suggest tein if you have money. for street purposes I would suggest tein stech springs, konig shocks and definately strut bars all the way around.
My setup is the tein flex coilover and i can go from street to track by adjusting the damping rate

i would go with full coilovers, because when you look at how much your spending on springs and struts your only about $400-600 off of a set of Tein flex/HE/HA, depending on what you would want, it wouldn't take too long to save up the extra $.
plus nothing beats full adjustment.

so what coilovers do you recommend? is it hard to adjust the dampening force or easy? i was thinking about the tein street spec (ss). and if it is hard to adjust i might go with the type flex with the edfc
