Looking for good suspension upgrades

I just put my 235/40/18 Giovanna wheels on my Max and now I'm interested in finding the right suspension upgrades to bring the wheels out. I'm tring to keep my ride as smooth as possible and I really don't know much about suspension components so here is what I'm looking for.

1. A smooth tight ride
2. A noticable drop but not drastic 1-1.5inch front and maybe
1-inch in the rear.
3. Price range is about $1000 total for springs struts what ever I
would need.

w/235/40/18 tires I'm not sure if i could get the stock ride back in my car but I would like to come close and complete the look of my car.

MaxSpeed springs = $125
KYB AGX struts = $500
Addco RSB = $140

With that you will have a very tight ride. And adjustable shock preference with the KYB AGXs.

Right idea, wrong brands. H&R's are worth the extra 50 bucks. The KYB is your only choice for adjustable shocks/struts, so take that for what it's worth. I'd maybe wait for the Tokico's in the spring, cause both Koni and Bilstein won't be making anything soon, and Tokico has a better reputation then KYB. I called 3 shops that sell them here, and they all said DON'T!!!! I don't mean to Rag on brands, but I just did. Research is your greatest friend.

Nite.

Maxspeed springs can be purchased from this one guy on ebay. Sway bar can be purchased from Custommaxima.com. KYB AGXs can be purchased from Cattman.com
