for coils, avoid s***** brands like megan, k-sport, and godspeed (if you can even consider that a brand)
I have always liked pbm and stance, just quality parts

If you aren't drifting/racing your car, there's no need for adjustable arms except maybe RUCA's... Don't get them just to get em'

Yah ofcourse you dont need them...

Thats if you dont plan on lowering the damn thing. People aftermarket arms for 2 reasons, to get the proper alignment angle back that you give up when you lower the car beyond what the stock arms are capable of correcting and replace the crappy stock bushings.

thanks for the suggestions guys...im not currently drifting, simply doing track/canyon runs. im in So Cal so canyons are plentiful here. i obviously would like to cop brand new equipment, however budget is tight...am i setting myself up for problems down the road if i buy used as far as control arms and coilovers??? thanks again

Definitely avoid megans i ran em almost grew wings and flew off the cliff a couple of times:angel:. I'm currently running Tanabe Sustec Pro S-0C great coils very affordable perfect for you cuz you dont do drift. They comes with a helper spring on the coils it makes the ride super comfy. O they look awesome too.

Stances. I recommend you wait until black friday and call up shops throughout the country to see if they are doing any deals. I bought my Stance GR+ $820 shipped to my front door.

This is such a N00b Question. Listen to yourself. Why do you expect people to spoonfeed you what the best parts for YOUR car are? Your going to get 100 different opinions, you don't even say what you plan to do with the car. Use your own brain and do some reading,make some decisions figure out what parts work best for what scenarios and make an educated guess from there. Any response you get on these forums is from other peoples opinions on their setups. Do your own legwork, you'll be smarter for it and your car will be better setup for it.
