Re: suspension brands and where to buy

progress technology is the best in the 900-1,000 dollar range you can get in my opinion . i bought mine from corsport but there prices recently went up im not sure if other sites have followed suit. i believe there 850 here and this is a very reputable site http://thmotorsports.com/

bigger rear sway bar to help reduce understeer and gain oversteer, and possibly a strut bar if the sway bar doesnt make as a big a difference as im hoping

Look into the following:
DC5-S,
DC5-R with subframe brace,
Progress,
Nuespeed.

Comptech, ASR and Hotchkis are overkill for you.

My dream dampers, two way adjustable penske in a custom machined housing. There was a lot of talk about making some, but not enough people willing to spend $6000 on dampers for our cars.

tanabe is good, but I need to know more than brand to give you advice.

there are many websites that carry the products I listed, so I don't know why the website your currently looking at matters. Especially since dezod offers forum discount codes and carries the progress bar.
