Welcome! The big question is, what do you want to do with the car? Do you want to keep it for the street, track time, lowered, slammed? I like Bilstein B4 with stock springs for the street, but others prefer Konis.

Here is a thread that can get you started. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...per-s-r53.html

I went budget and got rev9 hypersteet 2s and they're AMAZING I can make it taller than stock , slammed to the ground and every where in between . They also adjust rebound so you can have em anywhere from stupid stiff to softer than stock. I LOVE them. Alone with all the other stuff I added , it's a completely different car than my stock one. Rides 100000000x better in every way shape n form and that's just the suspension / ride alone...I suggest looking into the Rev 9s .
I have adjustable camber plates and all but I keep it kinda on the tighter/lower side so it's completely streetable but yet fully capable
