Default Suspension Setup

This is what i'm looking to do.... i want to make sure i am getting max cornering out of my car and to do so i wanted to go with a new fully adjustable suspension setup. I know when a car is lowered and it's a FR layout, being able to tighten the front and soften the rear would help cornering and lateral g etc. But i'm looking for reconmendations on a suspension setup to help me obtain this. I will also have 17's all around with 225's in the front and 255 or 265's in the rear. I've been looking around for about a month but i haven't seen to many specifics about some set ups.

Before you go this very expensive way, see the "Post Your Alignment" thread:

The S2K suspension is very adjustable. If you go to a dealer with a set of alignment specs (caster, camber, toe in) for the front and back (no caster in back) they can set your car up to those specs. The thread will give you a good feel for what sorts of specs you want. I did this, and after the second 4-wheel alignment, was able to get just the handling I wanted. (I needed a second alignment because I put on a set of Michelin Pilot A/S tires.)
