    A good set of coilovers would do, gaz are a good resonably priced setup. If not then some bilstiens or the like will do.

    Big piston bilstiens.

    Wouldn't touch coilovers for a "fun" toy that's not an all out track slag

    I Would also just go for a nice shock and spring setup. Coilovers look nice but they are not as good a drive and can be quite harsh at times.

    Ive used a gmax 40mm shock and spring setup in the past and still believe its the best setup ive had for feel and handling
