It narrows down to what you want. You can either go full coilovers, springs itself, or combination of springs and a matching good strut system. Coilovers are the most expensive of the selection, however, if you are planning to do some competitive racing, you can have good customization in both rebound/compression dampening and height adjustment. There are MANY options for coilovers out there in the market and all of the ones listed here are great. It really just depends how much you want to spend on it.

If you're really just into looks and in a tight budget, you can go with the spring setup which will give you a drop and decent suspension improvement. It is highly recommended that you replace the struts with something good sooner or later because stock struts tend to go bad and when that does, you will hate your car because of it's big trunk thumping over potholes and road irregularities.

Last but not least, I highly recommend installing rear and front sway bars and rear and front strut bars as they greatly help your car's handling. Rear sway bars make a huge different over the others if you're looking at priority.

When you are done with these, you may want to also look into some good performance tires as they also make a large difference in handling, especially in awd vehicles.

Tires make the largest difference in handling...well that and Driver skills.

But like above wrote...its really all about what you want to do with the car. Don't be like all the idiots that buy racing coilovers and don't actually race with them.
