What's a Good Suspension Set-up?

Hey
I got a 91 240sx Le fastback, just stock
My budget is (right now) $2500, and I wanted the first thing to spend my money on to be for a better suspension.
So my question is, what's the best suspension set-up I can have? Should I go with Tein basic or JIC MAGIC?
Thanks!

polyurethane of course...

but in my opinion, $2500 is plenty to spend for now.
Coilovers are great, but it could be a little bit over kill if u seldom do any track event.

for $2500, u can get good set of spring and shock combo, PLUS, sway bars, some chassis stiffening bar like the lower ladder bar, rear cross bar, good set of front and rear Struct tower bar, and of course, a set of subframe spacer.
in this list u can get up to 8 items witin $2500, I think it worth it. Probably give u just as good if not better improvment than just a set of good coilover.

that's what I did instead. and I haven't regret it.

That sounds like a good way to spend my hard earned money...haha...i busted my ass all summer until now for that money...on top of that, with a horribley boring job...
well, anyway, so now that I got the list of the items...where's the best place to order/buy them? and as far as brand name goes...does it make a difference? or is it a matter of you get what u pay for?
