Default New suspension - What all do I need?

Come Christmas I intend to get a new suspension for my 93 dx coupe, and I need to know what all parts to buy since this is my first time working with my suspension. I want a koni/gc setup... I'd like to get the order right the first time, and not have to return/order additional parts. So, what all do I need for the job? If it helps, I'm ordering from thmotorsports.com.

It really depends on what you are using the car for and what your goals are. I am still learning as I go and as my interest change with how I want to use my car and its suspension parts.

We are going to need more info to give a good response.

i would just rock out some Ground control/Koni setup if you are just trying to lower it and roll the hell out of it.

If you decided you want more suspension, where I am at now, then just find out what it will take to get what you want when that time comes.

It is not rocket science but there is a method to the madness that is suspension. I would really just start out with the basics and go from there as aeenox stated above.

I'm still trying to learn as a I go, but suspension has just thrown me for a loop haha. More info.. Let's see... Well, one thing I ran into was on the site I planned to order from there was a koni sport kit and koni yellow shocks. Would I need the full kit or just the shocks by themselves? The coilovers, for those I need to get ones designed to fit on koni's right? Honestly, suspension confuses the hell outta me. All I'm looking for is a better ride with some adjustability.

All u need to get is shocks designed for ur car and the coilover sleeves or springs designed for ur car. the koni/gc setup works great together thats y everyone has them. but u can get the koni shocks and use any other coilover sleeves or springs.
