I don't know how many suspension systems you will find for 1500 bucks worth any thing but you can do something like

Ridetech Adjustable front shocks $350 for the front pair

Ridetech adjustable rear shocks $350 a pair

Helwig front sway bar $178.99

BMR chevelle Lowering spring set of 4 $239.95


$350
$350
$179
$240
TOTAL
$1119 bucks


that's a great start, all great products and the car will handle well, and with the adjustable shocks you can go SUPER smooth for daily driving and stiff for autocross
