Cheap good setup is Koni SRT.T Non adjustables and Steeda Sport Springs. Great look and very good daily driver setup with no harshness.
I would not waste money on coil-overs unless you want it slammed or need better spring selection and adjust-ability.

I don't agree with the "hold it tight" statement, I have done enough of these to know that a spring compressor is a MUST HAVE to safely replace springs. Plus you can rent them for free at any auto zone.
I do agree that you don't need coil-overs for mostly street use, you will not push the components hard enough on the street to justify the cost, especially when you can get the same look for a fraction of a set of coil-overs.
I have less than $300 including shipping in my set up and could not be happier with the performance and the looks. I have pics in the SR Lowering springs and J&M Panhard bar thread.
