Suspension is evil voodoo

OK, as @powerj2 recently posted in my build thread:

time for suspension!

I've added a Vortech kit for power, PSS@245 to put it to the ground, sway bars to stiffen up the body roll, and strut tower bars to help with body flex.

I am not interested in cosmetic suspension mods/lowering for my car, I've seen plenty of cars that look awesome lowered but living in Houston, TX, that is not for me. This town is made for F-150s and RAMs. That said, if I have to take a small drop to get performance where I want it then so be it. As long as I can still get up my driveway.

The problem is that I know next to nothing about setting up a suspension properly to do what I want it to do. Hell, I don't even know for sure what I want it to do!

So what I want is a high quality suspension system that I can try out at various settings until I can decide what is best for me. In general I am not a drifter I prefer to stay planted and fast, but i wouldn't want to remove the playfulness entirely if such a thing is even possible.

I don't have a "money is no object" situation but I don't mind getting premium parts as long as I get real performance for my money.

Can anybody help out with suggestions experiences etc.?
