Really leaning towards the Tein Basic right now.

Welcome to the site. If your looking for the best handling BASICS are not even close they are well...basic. If you are seriously looking for the best handling I would say Ohlins are the answer I havent looked in awhile but I would guess they are $3000-4000. Are you tracking the car or just street driving? If you just want a little better handling and a drop for the street go with the Tein basics for serious performance get some high end coilovers. I run Bilstiens they are middle of the road performance and cost wise they give a nice ride and good handling. Good luck

Thanks dude,

Goes to show you how newbie I am. lol.. It will be just be for daily driving and somewhat of handling i guess. I may go with that setup with the Bilstiens.

Here is a link to them at tire rack. They say about $1700US +shipping+brokerage+duty+exchange so its going to be +/- $2200CAD. I bought mine locally for about $2400CAD because as I said before I will pay a little more to get parts from my local tuner because if he folds I dont think Tire Rack/E-Bay can tune my car. However if your not tracking the car Basics would likely be all you need I am not sure what they cost but I think under $1000 so that may be the way to go.

If you're just daily driving, the stock suspension is good enough. Chances are if you upgrade your suspension for better handling, you'll probably get a stiffer ride which might handle tight corners better, but might not be as comfortable going over bumps and stuff. Just keep that in mind.

I have been researching suspensions a lot lately. I want something for 80% street and 20% track. I'm probablly going to go with the HKS HyperMax III street coilovers. These seem to be the best setup for what I'm doing. Another good option for you would be the BC Racing 10/8 system. Goes for about 900US here on the site.
