Coilovers are going to run you more than $1000. Also remember that we dont usually recommend running just springs alone. So if you're looking to get a set of aftermarket shocks & springs, it would run you about $850 for a set or so + $250 for install.

If you're going to get coilovers, don't waste your money on a kit that comes with subpar dampers. Keep saving up for a quality set: do it right, once.

$2000 should be enough for an awesome kit.

On the other hand, if you don't care about handling, and just want the looks, go for some springs.

Right, if you are going to do coils, get the full setup with height and rebound adjustment. I personally only advocate coils if the end user will really take advantage of the height and dampening adjusters. Otherwise, it's overkill IMO.
