id still get coilovers...if you drive the car alot, coilovers will give you the luxury of being able to adjust the ride heigth when you dont want the car dropped on the ground. ive got ground control coilovers and tokico adjustables on mine and love the setup...allows alot of room to tweak for performance or comfort. </P>


while you have everything torn apart you might want to consider some poly bushings...this will help your handling alot! </P>

sh*t...i dont even remember what i paid for this setup...its gonna depend on what you actually end up getting...with the car being brand new im sure there isnt a HUGE aftermarket selection yet...i could be wrong though...realistically, you can expect to spend 300-400 on adecent set of coilovers (not race coilovers...those can run 5K). as far as shocks...adjustables (if they even have them yet) will probably run ya around 400...poly bushing kit shouldnt be more than 130. these prices are just guesstimations so you'll have to do some searchin around...you might even be able to find a good hook up and get the sh*t cheaper than this. </P>

Actually, i think coilovers are better. You can lower or raise the car anytime you want

Your gonna spend about 3 bills for these but there are cheaper setups out there.
