pretty much all of the good coilovers cost over $1000. you can get a set of Skunk2 coilovers for not much over $1000.
you can get a set of ground control adjustable springs and tokico is coming out with adjustable shocks soon. maybe koni too. this setup will cost about $1000. maybe a little less.

i'm looking into the endura-techs and skunk 2's. i've heard good things about both...very comfortable for daily driving.

t1r is finishing up development of their strut/dampner.. and if you pair that up with their springs, it'll be less than 800

Yeah you can get Skunk2 Pro-C's on ebay for $1100 shipped. How can they be that low considering most other vendors are near the $1400 range?
