Suspension kits
Suspension kits I saw a long time ago name brand kits that came with sway bars, shocks, springs, frond end bushings kit, panhard bar, trailing arms and some other stuff for 1500$. Just looking for something like that. Any info welcome
Strano offers kits that include shocks, sways, and springs, adding the other stuff isn't all that hard and you could probably get a setup from him (including what you mentioned) for $1500 or so.
For instance, SLP Bilstein shocks, his 35/22 sway bars, and his springs falls around $1k (if I remember right), adding a PHB, bushings, and LCA's (depending on what ones you pick) could bring the total up to around $1300-1400. Just an option
EDIT: Option for the Koni's (better) it would be more like $1700-1800, but would probably be worth it.

You don't need all that stuff just because you are lowering the car.... Also you have to look at the parts contained within the kit. A kit with crappy shocks isn't a very good setup (for example).
Prices vary depending on what parts you get. I have shock/spring kits on my website... and we can add LCA's, LCA brakets, etc., etc. to them as required.

No I don't want to lower the car my exhaust hangs low enough. I know what your saying Sam I'm not gonna buy junk shocks or any parts for that matter. I'm just looking for the cheapest but still a great product that I can buy in bulk instead of piece by piece. What about Lakewood?

Then if you want something like that, you could get that with out springs but to get the most out of it, then you would need to lower it a little cause of the center of gravity crap. And you can always have the exhaust tucked up closer to the under side of the car. Just take it to a better exhaust shop cause if half the guys on here can run lower than me and not scrub there exhaust, then I think anyone else can to. But my $0.02 would be to go to Sam Strano.

^^^ As mentioned, there are ways of getting exhaust setups to work with a lowered car in a lot of cases.
However, if you simply don't need to lower, stock springs actually work pretty well with good shocks, and they're not really a wear item (fine for WAY more than 80k miles). A set of Bilstein or Koni shocks make a huge difference when paired with stock springs (ask me how I know
). Along with shocks, you can add things like swaybars or even a Watts link (if you want to control the rear better), and there are more parts that can help with your goals as well. As mentioned, give Sam a call!

I'd be happy to discuss other parts with you if you like, you might want the changes some give you, but again based on your statement above -- it's a classic worn out shock scenario first and foremost.

If interested in these items, the links below will make it easy to check them out:
Koni Shocks
Sway Bars
PHR
Following the site you can also get the 3rd gen rears (not infinitely adjustable and valved slightly differently) for $100 less. Add in an adjustable PHB to recenter the rear and you should be good to go.
A search will also net you the same result
The link above is for the HP5 set, and Formula again is on the money with the fast I also offer the HP4 kit which is $100 less with the "4/3" rear shocks in it.
I've got all kinds of adjustable PHB's too, I don't include them in the kits because many folks already have them. And while recommended, I don't consider them 100% necessary especially on cars that aren't slammed (my springs don't) and not on bigger than stock wheels/tires, etc.
