Question Advice on suspension components.

I've started to modify my car for a little more power, but I want this car to handle too. My rear end has already started to sag, a little which is a pretty common problem, so let's nip this in the bud. As of the end of this month, the car will have a tune, intake, headers w/ high-flow cats, and that's it for now.

I'm looking at a set of BC Racing BR Series Adjustable Coilovers, but I'm not too sure about how well it'll handle my power goal of 500+ down the road. I won't be doing dig racing if that helps with any advice. The goat is not daily driven, and is not taken out during rainy days or when winter comes around.

Thanks!

BC work fine, as long as you don't mind putting Chinese parts on your car. I run aussie DMS coilovers, they are the top shelf variety. I'd consider KW over the BC deal if I had to choose. Radius rod bushes are the first bush that needs changing.

I really don't mind ordering individual components instead of a kit, but where would you recommend getting those DMS coils?

DMS coilovers are best ordered from the manufacturer. The owner Jamie is the main tech guy. Do not deal with DMS North America the guy is dishonest and ripped me off. Jamie has always been prompt and professional.

definitely radius rod bushings and poly strut mounts and new bearings in the strut mount. depending on miles the rear springs are/will sag. If your an M6 Revshift trans mount poly insert. Cross member bushings and diff mount insert or a Harrop diff cover. I don't see on the vendor list here where I got most of my stuff from but PM me and I'll tell you where. He's very knowledgeable with our cars and deals in the Aussi stuff. And he is affordable!!
