Default Coilovers??

Money no object, what would you do with the suspension of your cars? And with your own money, what would you be buying? I've just pretty much swapped my ek hatch for the equivilent lower milage coupe, and I'd love to know what to do with the suspension this time! I went through 3 different suspension setups last time, and never really found one I liked. I didn't try a coilover kit before, what's the difference between this and a set of lowering springs? I'll be looking to really drive the car, it's not going to be for show, but I'd still be looking to lower it (they really do look stupid stock!!). The car came with some fairly rough 16's on it, that I will be swapping for some rather better condition 16's soon in the future, but thats pretty much as far as my knowledge goes! Despite my huge enthusiasm about everything car, I still know nothing about how they work (other than the basic idea of everything!). Any advice and experience you can share would be awesome! thanks

Tokico D-Spec shocks, H&R Race springs, Skunk2 camber kit/control arms, megan racing strut/sway bars, some sort of trunk reinforcement, and C-pillar reinforcement.

Probably a set of the Sachs coilovers from the Z-Tune and a full set of strut/sway bars. Or maybe a pushrod-actuated setup like the Carrera GT. If I wanted to spend LESS than $20,000, however, I'd go with what I3unny said.
