New to suspension mods

lately ive felt like id like to start gearing my car to be a little handler. is there some good sites or links where i can educate myself on coilovers and springs ETC.

Some quick questions:

can the stock setup support Eibach Sportlines, I like that drop because the H&R's are too low for 225's and the Pro-Kit doesnt do it for me....?

What are the benefits to switching to these coilover systems that are like a grand?

obviously my first upgrade would be wheels and tires im looking at the ASA JH8's 18X17.5 wrapped in BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2's

so the big thing with coilovers is adjustability, i dont really need that, i just want a sick looking stance with a stiff ride.

If i go with springs on stock struts and such it will wear out over time ive been reading....I love answering my own questions!

Sportlines don't drop it a tonne. I love mine.

If I had a few $$$ burning my pocket I would get the coilovers in a heartbeat.

Struts and shocks should be in the not too distant future. I am waiting for a good set to appear.
