A "true performance suspension" sounds like a single purpose application. Are you looking for the best suspension that is capable of performing well? What would that include besides street driving? Would it be drag racing, slalom, drifting....?

I agree, if its for slalom or drifting, I would say coilovers, but for drag racing I'd follow super73's setup and keep it simple w/ different coils.

Re: Performance suspension

I might also add that performance and heavy 20" wheels don't usually go together.
