go with either skunk2 or ground control coilovers.....then after a while when your shocks blow out...go ahead and buy the koni yellows or wait til the tokicos come out!!!!

I can get a good deal on B&G coils and yes it is a good idea to invest in a camber kit for the rear.

I would hope it is a smoother ride than a Porsche. A Porsche is a sports car therefore a sport suspension which should be hella tighter than a vic's. I have a hard time believing it is a better ride.
