As for the goals for my car, I really want it to handle properly and to be able to throw it into a corner with confidence at speed. Right now I'm on blown air shocks in the rear and blown shocks up front with some really squishy springs. I'm tired of how boaty the car feels going over roads and bumps and is really like it to be to predictable and tighter.
My priorities would be:
Daily drivable. This is my only car and I need it to be as reliable as I can get it so it'll take me to school and work with little issue
Budget. Unfortunately I am but a college student making a hair above min. Wage but I've managed to build the car thus far haha. Even at the cost of no going out, angry girlfriends and empty wallets haha.
Comfort, honestly isn't that high of a priority to me. If the ride is a tad harsh I feel as if I can manage driving it everyday
As far as resources, honestly, I'm just a weekend warrior but I know how to turn a wrench. A lot of the stuff on the car was done myself with the help of my dad. Fortunately I have a friend with a shop that I can outsource the more intense stuff to.

I've done a lot of research on a lot of the companies you've named (mostly ride tech. Some DSE but I think that budget is out of range at the moment) and have set goal to try and save for their products but I'm trying to remain open minded about other options. I've looked at SC&C and they seem to have a nice line up of products as well

if tgeres any more clarification or information i need please dont hesitatw to let me know

thank you so much for your time

Do you have enough money saved up to buy a suspension package, or will you need to buy one thing at a time?
