You get exactly what you pay for, sometimes just a bit less. Spend the money for the good stuff the first time.

I've spent more than 14K on suspension to get where it's at now and nothing in the world compares to what you get when you flop down the visa and do it really nice. I've had all the lowering springs and fancy whizbang billet this and that's and what it's come down to is they all suck inversely in proportion to the suggested retail cost.

The only way I got the handling and durability I wanted was to go all the way and get the Max Grip box from Maximum Motorsports. Tubular control arms suited for my needs and correctly bushed, 4 wheel bilstein coil over with spring rates and heights selected specially for my use case, a panhard bar and torque arm and tuned rear sway bar changed an ill handling sled into a hot running corner carver on par with european sports coupes costing 3 times as much.

You probably won't be as demanding as I am of my suspension but spending properly the first time will cut your long term cost substantially and provide superior performance.
