Default Need Help With Suspension!!!!!

This is my problem...i was about to get some teins today but i started to have second thoughts about spending that much on suspension that wouldnt be right for my application. Im 17yrs old and dont plan on auto-x or tracking my ek much until i get my swap done, which will hopefully be within the next year or so. I'm just wondering what the best suspension setup would be for me. Im looking for great handeling and dont care too much about a bouncy ride as long as its not too bouncy. I have enough money for teins, but im just not sure if i should get those or Apex WS that someone in my neghbor hood is selling for $650 obo. IMO, if im gonna spend 650 on the WS i might as well put on 200 more and get teins. Help me out please. Thanks.

BTW: The teins in question are the HA's...Thanks guys!!

If you don't plan on tracking the car just get the WS's and get your sway bars.

You will be happy there.

Besides everyone knows that the tires is what actually helps you stick.

Well, i had decided to get teins and jsut went to the shop that had quoted me $890 for a set of HA's for my civic...well i paid the $350 deposit and he was supposed to get them for me tomorrow....i paid and left and 3 mins later the ****** guy calls me and says "the ha's are the japanese model, so im going to give you the american one, the SS." I went nuts, they want to charge me 300 more to get HA's!! **** them, i knew it was too good to be true that the gayest shop in my area gave me the lowest price on teins. **** SPEED VISION!!! Im too mad to type normally, sorry if it makes no sense !!!

..and that`s what happens when you choose the lowest bid. I would have had them on your car by now for $975 out the door.
