These are the parts I am looking at , and so far I have come across Megan Racing and Circuit Sports. The Megan setup has a lot more parts comapred to the Circuit. Which one is better, or are there any others out there as well. What brands should I be looking at?
Coil overs are the last on the list, so lets not worry about them just yet !!

No offense, but do you actually know what any of those parts do or why you need them? It sounds like you just have money to spend and want to make your mod list bigger.
Of course not, I just think you should know what the parts do and how they’ll effect your car before you go out and buy a whole bunch of random stuff. Most of those parts you listed wont have much effect on the handling of a stock s chassis, things like coilovers or a good strut spring combo, sway bars and grippy tires will make the most noticible differences. Thats not to say though that you wont need adjustable multi-link, its just not something people usually start off their build with.
go with bings, and get an energy suspension bushing kit so you can have fun changing them all, and then slap on your other parts while your at it. no point in doing half the job, might aswell do it all at once while its all apart cuz I bet your bushings are all soft serve like mine were and that kit isint that much money.
Well if you want a complete suspension set-up…maybe you should look at some parts combinations that are a good base to start tuning your suspension with.
IMO…you should start with a spring and shock combo…that way they dont have a bunch of dials and functions that a normal person would know nothing of like a coil-over (badly set-up coil-overs will handle worse than a nice spring/shock combo). BUT then once you lower it on your new springs…you’ll need some way to get your camber back into spec. So then you’ll want adjustable rear upper control arms and maybe a set of front camber plates. Next up I would do either f/r sway bars or a full polyurethane bushing kit. And all this is assuming that your tires and brakes are complementing your tight new suspension!
But opinions are like assholes…everyones got one, this just happens to be mine.
