suspension suggestons

i want to run a better suspension setup on my 91 and i got about $1000, i am not sure witch way to go, i was thinking kyb agx, illumina, with h&r or nuspeed race springs, or omni power coilovers, i do mostly street driving with a few track days here and there and i am not sure wich setup will benifit me more, any suggestions would be very helpfull.

Thanks

i have the tociko advance handling kit which is 1.7" drop springs and illumina's. Get some new upper spring mounts from honda thats about the only thing the kit didn't include, you need to reuse the upper spring perchs and bumpstops though.
I paid like $750 a few years ago. With any left over money get some sway bars, wether they're aftermarket or just OE doesn't matter. Sway bars make a huge difference in handling, especially if your car does not come equipped with a factory rear sway bar.
Just make sure you get polyurethane bushings if using used stock sway bars.

Good for you man, smartest move youve maid yet! You Si is one of the cleanest I have seen to date. Hey does your car have a rear sway as well? If not I would definatley add one.

Thanks man, in case your interested someone has the front end for sale on tcc right now. Even though I normally find the fourth gen usdm front end kinda bland I think your still looks really good, must be the paint!
