LOL, OK, is see the issue. I was thinking stock anything!
BAHA ha ha ha ha.....
I'm with you on the aftermarket setting us up nicely. Though somewhat a bit pricey for my pockets these days. (Dang collage is expensive! 1 down, 2 to go!)
Yeah the aftermarket has come around quite a bit in the last few years for setting up these cars for decent (even great!) handling. But it's definitely not cheap. I even forgot that the TVS system doesn't include torsion bars! Lots of nice goodies, but I think they could come up with a better package for most cars- ie, lose the tubular UCA's and fancy heim joint tie rods and replace them with torsion bars and subframe connectors, or maybe even add in the shocks. Much more practical. But, if you're going the full monte, the TVS system is still a good choice. You just need a couple more things for the entire set up.
If you add good shocks into the list I put up, you're in the $1,700 to $1,800 dollar range (Fox or bilsteins). And that still doesn't include rims and tires, which for decent 17's or 18's will run in the couple thousand dollar range.
