Rep Power: 0 Well, if you buy just springs now, then you will probably want to buy new struts eventually. So 200 now for springs 500-600 later for new struts. May have to get camber kits, depending on drop(about 220).
Or, you could go with coliovers now, for around 300-400, and then also get new struts later(550), but you will probably decide to go pretty low, which means you should get camber ktis, so add another 220.
Or, you could go with a full coilover system now for about 1000-1200, this would replace your stock springs and struts, and I would recommend camber kits with this as well, add another 220.
This is before new rims/tires, before strut bars, and before sway bars, if you want them.
When your suspension is all said and done, you will have spent a significant amount, for example, when my car is done, I will have spent about 870 dollars on each corner. A large part of that is the cost of my wheels, but even with normally priced wheel, that usually run about 140 each, then your looking at a cost of about 680 a corner.
