Default struts/coil overs

I was wondering if anyone was running a set up like in the Sports Compact Dodge Neon Project write up
they used Koni sport springs and Ground Force coil overs

Wondering if anyone that drives theirs everyday run some kind od Strut and coil over set up
i know they ride alittle rough but i want it to handle well
let me know thanks

PS
Is there a web site or magazine anybody gets that deals with alot of neon parts? suspension, bushings and such?
thanks again
Brian

Budget and coilovers don't belong in the same sentence. A good budget setup is, KYB's with Skunk2 or Mopar High rate springs.

not really a budget
but i don't want to spend the 1500 or so for the high end kit
the link Aerorat posted those look decent for under 1000
I guess buy the time you drop 450 on coil overs and 200 + on a set of KYB's you already pushing upwards of $600
I was thinking coil overs that way i could install them myself
i don't want to pay someone to compress and install springs

Autozone lets you rent the spring compressor for free, but you don't need one with lowering springs.

But for about $200 more you can get a known/reliable brand...

Or even for the same price...
