don't do coilovers, the trouble you can have is not worth it, the ride quality pretty much sucks....unless you want to spend $400+ a corner for a righteous set.....

Eibachs, H&R, Progressive, there are several others, combine them with KYB2's and you should be good to go.....

if you are looking to save some $$$, you could go with the KYB's in the front, and then do an Autozone run for the rear struts....or use the stock struts if they are still in good condition.....

+1 to what baldy said - there are no good cheap saturn coilovers, so lowering springs is the way to go.

you should most definitely go with a set of 2-way adjustable MOTON motorsport coil-overs. you can set it up for the stiffest ride you want. i talked to a couple people from moton usa and they would be happy to build them for you (or anyone for that matter). all you need to do is send them a stock front and stock rear strut assembly (with spring and upper strut mount) and a check (or money order) for $7300 and in 6 weeks or so, you will have your very own set.

or, if you only have $300 to spend, get some h&r springs. the choice should be an easy one...
