Suspension Plan, for suspension noob Options

[CilverSeliST205]

I am quite a suspension noob so please bear with me,
If you had $1500 to invest into suspension components what would you get assuming:
you got, rims and tires your happy with and not planning on replacing
your not planning on getting any kind of expensive coilovers (just yet)
lots of oem parts in your suspension that are wearable need replacement.
You also have tein ss spring that you can stay with or change for better.
Only mild brake upgrades if any (no bbk etc.)
Your ride got ~280whp

So basically what brand/specs:
sway bars
strut bars
frame brace/arm bar (does this mod have any NOTICEABLE impact??)
dampers/springs
brake pads
anything else

also what other components would you upgrade or replace (because they might be worn out)

Thanks!

Custom spring rate GC [example. 280F/340R] It all depends on how high of a spring rate you want to go [Higher means less comfort, but benefits perfomance driving]

To use Koni Yellows [Adjustable Konis]
You will need to shorten the strut casing. I believe 2 members have done this so far and recorded it. Coomer being one of them.


This is what the track guys use. I just reread your first comment. This direction will be somewhat become more costly. Bilstien + GC would be an easier combo to create [not much info can be given with the GC + Koni] [OTS Koni Yellows are avail for the 6gc overseas from my past reading here... ]

I can source koni shocks for 550 and GC coilovers for ~$350 that comes out to ~900$ with that money i could add another $100 and get KSport coilovers or add $250 and get tein SS. Or i can get NEX coilovers for ~$700 (4way adjustable shock, monotube) but i havent heard anything about them. Arrrgh i dont know what to do...
what are your opinions on ksport or NEX coilovers?
