K, I've been searching suspension set ups.
Ok, I searched this forum for cheap(er) suspension set ups, from what I gathered that's in my price range is KYB AGX's and skunk2 coilovers. Would I need a camber kit? What do you guys think about this match.

I have heard the Skunk2 coilovers are super stiff.
I, however, helped a buddy install KYB AGX's with Neuspeed Sport springs and the ride afterwards was really nice. Great height too. He spent around $450 for the struts and springs, so it is a quality setup for cheap.
Get it aligned afterwards and if they say you need a camber kit, buy one. If you are slamming it, you will definitely need one. 1.5" and higher all depends on how out of spec it is at the alignment shop.
I assume you are just getting the setup for a lowering and some improved cornering but not really much track time?

Yea, I'm trying to get together a handling set up. I don't think I'll be going to a track any time soon. The closest one is in New Jersey, a 6 hour drive. If I ever did get a set up for track, what would I need? What would need to be different.

If they didn't come with them it probably doesn't need them. So scratch that whole seat thing.
For neuspeed, it says that 92-95 spring number is 55.20.17, and is a 1.6 rear 1.8 front.
For 96 it says part number 55.20.21, 1.5 rear 1.75 front.
