If you don't plan on putting it on the track very often (more than twice a month) a nice spring/strut combo will do you fine.

as stated previously, a spring/shock combo would probably be best instead of a full bodied coilover....my suggestion would be something like eibach pro-kit mated with kyb agx shocks...you will have adjustability with the shocks and the ride will be nice and firm...add a sway bar, and that's all you really need for street driving...

if you are an avid auto-x-er, or spend time at the track on occasional weekends, then you may want to look into coilovers after all...in which case, start by looking at the D2 coilovers and tein ss's...if you are more serious, custom setups are available, like the custom ground control springs mated to custom valved koni yellow shocks...but i don't think you are quite up to this level yet, so start with the simple spring/shock combo...

you can get custom set-ups for full bodied coilvoers as well. i just picked up some k-sport coilovers. these are full bodied coilovers, cheaper than gc/ywllow and imo, are better than any spring, shock combo. add a rear sway to neutralize the understeer/oversteer and some nice sticky tires to compliment both mods
