Suspension recommendations for sporty regular/daily driver?

This thread is a perfect example of why I joined GBF.

Funny, because I joined for the heated discussions on household appliances. 😛
 
I actually came across an old thread here on GBF that spoke highly of Ridetech's products. They are a little higher-priced, but some people seemed to think the price premium is worth it. I was a little surprised what their StreetGrip system didn't come with. It doesn't come with 4-links, control arms, but it does come with front drop spindles. I think I may kind of mix and match when I get to the point of selecting suspension.
 
Don't forget a rear seat brace.
 
Drop spindles allow you to run taller springs, which can improve ride, but you still need taller ball joints to fix the camber curve, unless the drop spindles are also taller.

Two cars with a same ride height, one drop spindles and one dropped with shorter, stiffer springs, the drop spindle car will likely have more bumpsteer and will need more inner fender work for tire clearance vs the drop spring car.
 
From what you have said in your post, no matter what company you go with, Polyurethane bushings will best. Poly doesn't transfer the NVH that delrin or heim joints do.
I have a 86 regal daily driver and im tryna find the best shocks for it not too expensive though any suggestions
