Depends on what you want and how much you want to spend. If you want to lower your car, get lowering springs and some nice struts. If you want to track your car once in the while, get full coilovers with adjustable dampening.

lowering Springs, struts, camber kits, and a alingment. The camber kits aren't completely necessary, but they help.

minus the camber kit. Unless youre SUPER dumped ...or you have clearance issues....or you wanna actually tune your suspension. camber doesn't really wear tires...unless you're doing burn outs. So if you're drag racing, get a camber kit.

Ground controls and Koni yellows work very well. Tried and true. Great ride quality, and great track potential. tons of people use this setup.

Not to mention how dumped people who use them can be. It just depends what you're going for.
