What suspension setup do people recommend?
I own an 01 1.8t 180 FWD Coupe, and after I put on my new 19" wheels, I want to do suspension. I will be autocrossing the car once a month. What would you guys recommend I do, and how much might it cost me? Thanks in advance

I love the hotchkis springs. They are stiffer than the other brands but dont lower the car as much
as the H&Rs.
The great thing about them, is that they are actually more comfortable on irregular roads. less bouncing.
I havent autocrossed them yet, but after swapping back and forth between my H7Rs and Hotchkis' i approve of them.
Neuspeed sways, are a great addition - the car should have come that way from the factory.
Uprated shocks are a must Eibach or Konis.
I am saving my pennies for a stg 3 Statis suspension

I'm happier than I thought I'd be with my 3.2's stock suspension...
It's not the top choice for autocrossing or racing, but it's an excellent compromise for everyday driving.
I had anticipated getting rid of the stock 3.2 suspension prior to delivery and had pulled the coilovers off of my 2001 TTR in anticipation of this. However, once I drove on the stock setup for awhile, I liked it a lot. More stiff and sporty than the 225 OEM suspension, but not punishing.
