i thought you just mentioned: I'd rather spend more in the car in mods than fixes. (e.g. turbo setup, than suspension work)
if you want to get your suspension over and done with with no price in mind, just get KYB shocks, get TRD, TEIN, Or INTRAX Springs, bump stops, and possibly top mounts/bearings, and just do it. thats all. I really don't think you get the idea about how coilovers are today, there are no cons to getting coilovers. They are fully rebuildable, custom, and can utilize some parts from other brands. the spring/shock combo is hell, like many people here, get install problems, parts wearing, disassemble reassemble, no adjustability, etc. I went through two lowering spring set ups already, TRD and Intrax, which are not bad, but ultimately I wished I should've gotten coilovers the first time. I was thinking i don't need coilovers, I think the lowering springs is okay, i'd rather spend my money on other mods, but I was wrong, I ended up getting coilovers, i wish I could've save me the install times, the parts bought, the time wasted, the money wasted. but again like i said, if you want lowering springs just get the setup i mentioned, might cost 500-600 dollar range total for all those parts (which is close to coilovers) but at least its a simple decision.
