tein coilovers and a progress 27 mm rear swaybar. a variety of other bars, though not as important as the rear sway.

I would get Tein if you are not WELL versed in suspenion tuning.

I think a combo of GC coilovers and either Koni Yellows or KYB AGX shocks.

With Tein...if you don't adjust them correctly you will actually make your car handle worse.

Do you track your car at all or is this for street use??

A set up that was researched to be appropriate for the type of driving, and is tuned to the driver.

I have neuspeed sport springs and koni yellow shocks along with my tanabe f/r underbraces and spoon f/r upper strut tower bars. I really like the setup I have and I'd highly recommend it.

IMO, if you're just starting to race, you're much better off getting a good understanding of the basics of suspension tuning. Otherwise, how would you know what you're buying and putting on the car is right for you? I suggest some light reading like Fred Puhn's How To Make Your Car Handle or Carroll Smith's Tune To Win. And during the learning curve, take the car out as is and develop as a driver.
