brought car of andy, previous owner, and thought it would be easier just to use his profile. just trying to find out other ways of doing things as his ways are not always best

welcome to the club :beer
suspension is usually not cheap, unless you just want freshened up shocks/springs? coilovers/ "sports" suspension is pricey, as they are not generally available off the shelf.

just put this up.. saw these sleeve kits while browsing otomoto website.. wait for the more experienced guys to comment about the suitability, as I don't really know much, but will be interested in sorting out my suspension too in the near future

Have you rang hotbits? I'm fairly sure they have starion coilovers on the shelf and they are HIGH QUALITY items, i've used them previously on GVR4's and will use them again.

Off the shelf and Starion are rarely used in the same sentence...
I would be very suprised if that was true. Happy to be proven wrong in this case.

The starion is actually listed on the hotbits website, redzone tried emailing them but got no reply, but if you are interested you should give them a call. They do however need your struts as they use the stub axle from it.
