Default I am in the market for suspension...

I have cash in hand and I would like to upgrade my bone stock car. I definately prefer FULL Coilover systems.
I believe the only non Full Coilover I would do is Koni Yellows and Ground Control.

Please guys I do a lot of spirited driving and I love drag racing. I do want to be able to run to a AutoX course and then minor tune the suspension and run at the drag strip on the weekend.

Not looking to buy $1600 worth of suspension, its a daily driver with track abuse.

This is what I have laying around so far.....


ASR 24mm Swaybar
ASR Polished Subframe Brace
Function 7 Lower Control Arms
32mm USDM Type R 5 Lug Conversion
Beaks Brace

Should I get Adj Endlinks or non Adj.

What type of spring rates should I be looking forward for a strong cornering vehicle with daily driving attributes.

AMR coilovers can be built to your spec + quality stuff. Price will come in under your $1600 and lifetime warranty.

I have been doing some research myself, and it seems like PIC apex is the way to go.
Koni/GC also seems like a good alternative if you want more spring choices and don't mind the sleeve.
