For that budget and what you want to do? Anything in the price range.

thats more than enough... i bought tokico blues and nuespeed springs for around $ 450... its a good smooth ride. if your looking to dump it, coilovers is the only way to go imo. also wheels/tires have alot to do with stance.

You have all the money you want. What you don't have is patience to wait long enough to save enough to buy a setup that will last.

But whatever BS you want to. Most of the members here will tell you to wait and buy a quality setup that can handle the lack of suspension travel for an extended period of time. Something with shortened bodies would work, or something like Koni/GC with extended top hats.

However, I'm sure you'll just buy whatever comes in the color you like best. As opposed to AMR, KW, Koni/GC, or Progress (you would need to have them build you a custom setup, their CS-II kit likely wouldn't handle "dumped")
