well what you want then is adjustable shocks I'd suggest Kyb's and some springs stiffer in the rear then the front ... and slightly lower by like 1.5 to 2 inch drop add a rear sway bar and your car will handle nice.... it will have rear end rotation when you need it and will be easy to use throttle contorl to contorl the car... have fun

get shocks and springs .... not coilovers ... becuase ...

1) coilovers once corner wieghted and the ride hieght is correct are left alone .... most people don't get this and then play with them and voila get a bouncey ride...

2) do you really want to pay to get your car corner wieghed after raising or lowering the car?

Buddy Club, Zeal, Spoon, J's, and whatnot they all make nice dampers.

If your budget is above 2G, you can get a Zeal B2 already. Which is something I have my eyes on.

Define your meaning of "track" use... circuit, drag, autocross, etc... A little more info would help with our responses.
