suspension combination?

[MAcustoms]

im looking for a full overall suspension change......springs, shocks, sway bars, strut bars and i need help deciding on what to do. im going for show/street quality so i want a pretty low ride but not too low that im hitting everything and i want to be able to take the turns fairly fast and be able to do some drifitng heres what i was thinking.......tokico pro struts, eibach sportline springs, full strut bar setup, sway bar setup i dont know what kind of sway bars yet but does that sound decent?

Myself I run the tokico illuminas that are adjustable (dampening) and neuspeed springs that lower it about 1.3" .

From my understanding the sportlines are REALLY low. I see a lot more people run the pro kit.

On the strut/sway bar issue, can't help to much there. I am a straight line racer so I don't bother with any of that.

yea i found the prokit the other day...alot stiffer so helps alot so i think im gunna go with that...but when i was searching the price difference between the illuminas and the pro is alot...i mean like almost 100 and im def no rich kid...im 17 and sit at a computer and answer phones and on the side work at a car shop www.digitalsoundz.com so money is a big problem....i think the por springs from eibach and the illumina struts should be good and i can wait on the sway bars cause the strut tower bars (front upper, rear uper and lower) should help for now

Actually, ProKit rear springs are soften than stock 1996 FWD rear springs. You'd be better off, handling-wise, with new sway bars, instead. Plus, you wouldn't have to throw these away later if and when you had the money to get serious.

ok well i still want to lower the car a little, plus stiffening would be good if it was to a point, im definetly not keeping the springs stock, wont help too much at shows so ill have to keep looking fro springs, what brands of sway bars will work well and be good priced and how hard is it to instal them, ive never installed a sway bar or scene it done, springs, and upper and rear strut bars, and the struts arent too bad just time consuming taking it all aprt and puuting it back to gother, thanx for the support guys
