1st...no suspension upgrade for your Stique is cheap, unless you get the BAT special $149 for 4 struts) and Roush springs ($120 I recall?) That will give you a slight drop, better/firmer ride than what you have now. You will be amazed at the difference, as the struts are Eruo spec equivalant or better than stock SVT struts. ABout $300 total for the above (and put'em on yourself. Take a weekend...save money)
2nd...your next step up is the BAT sport kit, but at $600 plus shipping...almost double the above.
3rd...Koni's will run you $600 for struts only, and you'll need to drop cash on springs. People talking ground controls are really talking foolishness for a college student who owns a Stique and spends more time in the library than on the race track.
4th...if you must...drive what you have and save for what you want. Everytime I've settled for less than what I trully wanted, I ended up spending more money and time doing it twice!
