If you're looking for better handling then get:
- springs
-strut bar ($60)
-sway bar ($140)
-lower tie bar ($50-100)
-sticky tires (alot)

Personally, I would go with eibach springs, they are known for quality parts, not saying that skunk doesnt make quality parts, but m vote goes towards eibach.

i just had some D2 coilovers put on my car. it is very gocart-esque. a heads up on lowering the CD7's if you go for no or very little gap on your fronts you will have to mod your inside fenders. i got ingalls adj uppercontrol arm ball joint and I still need to make clearance for the ball joint to achieve proper camber. i have been looking for aftermarket uppercontrol arms(shorter ones) but seems companies started making these for gens after mine. Just a heads up.
After you improve the suspension you will definitly enjoy your car alot more.

you're going to need new shocks if you're lowering it more than 1.5' , ebay is ok but there are alot of scammers out there, you should pay attention to what the member is selling.

Price varies depending on where you live.
