I could get the springs and shocks for a little under 500 through work (supercheap).

I basically want something that's firmer than standard. Looking to reduce body roll, etc. as i like to do the speed limit around corners...

atm, shocks are goners, so doing any sort of long corners, the car understeers too much... leans alot on front outside wheel = reduces cornering speed.

If coilovers are avaliable and they're decent/reputable for a budget... sold... setting dampness should only be fine tuning. I think alot of complaints about the G4's is mainly that the spring rates are so high, it doesn't really allow for tuning the suspension with dampness.
