Your aiming too high, just get good shocks and camber pins and or castor bushings.

struts are almost 1k by em self may aswell spend bit extra and get coil overs which i can make firmer because kings arent firm enough, probably wont end up doin anything as i havent done anything to the car since i last posted but nice to know wat things are like and wats worth while etc

I've got the best non-adjustable struts money can buy (for the BJ) and they only cost me $691! Your superlows are good enough with the right damper rates, and making the car firmer is not always the right way to go. Save your money and upgrade your rear sway bar and front strut brace with the money you save. Just because cuz has Koni or Billstein doesn't mean you need em...

Half the benefit with coilovers (high quality) is the damper rates, NEVER the ride height and not just hard springs
I can almost guarantee that money invested on some good quality dampers will be better spent than on a set of Hotbits coilovers I can almost guarantee you that the damper rates are the real let down with these OMG did I just recommend against coilovers............WTF Its just that wrong brand coilovers arent going to do much bar lighten your wallet |

hey man, you really don't need stiffer anything, especially if your getting around newcastle roads!!
seriously, with a bit of speed and super stiff setups your going to be looking at bouncing waay too much to actually maintain ground contact! if you want to stiffen up anything, i'd be up rating the stabilisers (match front and back!) and get new shocks.... that will out handle most things, (also get it properly aligned!!)
