86 suspension parts

curious on where to go to pick up suspension parts for my 86zx, & should coilovers be the first thing I get? Want to have a nice drift setup. I appreciate any recommendations.

Yes. Go spend $1400 on coilovers for the car you just bought.

fourteen hundo is a little out of my price range. Would a good set of eibach or st lowering spring s and some front & rear strut bars do the trick for now?

**** coilovers, get a set of adjustable shocks and some stock 88T springs, throw some poly bushings in it and weld the diff and have some fun. Yeah, you aint gonna be the fastest or coolest person out there, but you will definitely have some fun....
