Default For those with H&R/Bilstein combo.

AWE has the combo for $700, is this the best price around? I saw a setup used for $500, but for $200 more I might as well go new. For me it's all about looks and ride quality, I'll do very minimal if any track. Is this a good setup for what I want, any other suggestions?

Default Intrax MC suspension kit, stasis enthusiast setup

those are two more progressive spring/ shock combinations under 1k... I think the intrax setup is 799? or less and the stasis setup is 900..
the stasis has hyperco springs which are supposed to be pretty good.. I would try and ride in different setups to see what you like the best

Default This is probably the best combo out there IMHO (m)

Most people have had negative things to say about H&R Coilovers whether they were Streets or Ultras. You can get a very nice setup for exactly what you want from Stasis, but it will cost you. KW coilovers are also a good choice especially if you needed to change up the dampening or raise the car back up come winter time, but your in Fla. and probably could do without the adjustability afforded by them. The MTM full (Eibach/Koni IIRC) has a set of linear rate springs which ride a little rougher over road imperfections but will give you may give you quicker turn in too. When all is said and done though, the H&R/Bilstein combo will settle at the ideal height and give a comfortable yet stiff ride. My sig pic shows this setup on my car.
