Fresh meat...brand new owner here with suspension questions

Well, last weekend I bought an 02 GT with 5spd,action package, and an aftermarket exhaust already on it. So far I have only added the AEM CAI on the performance side of things. I want to make her handle with the goal of autocrossing and mabye some track days and mabye time attack so oodles of power would be great but I want to make her a corner carver as I have never been into drag racing. I have the 1zz which is supposedly the torque version with the 2zz bein the high rever. anywho, I am curios if anybody has had any coilover experience with the 7th gen. I know the cream of the crop is probably a Tein setup but what else is recomended while avoiding the cheap crap? Also shocks of course and I found a kit on nopionline by hotchkis that is a front camber plate kit for up to 1.5 degree of negative camber and it includes the strut brace, also on nopi they have a tanabe front upper strut bar as well as a front lower under brace bar...anybody have any experience with any of those parts?

Any recommendations from people that have been there and done that in regards to suspension goodies would be great.

I have to admit that I always eyed the celicas and always said i would love to have one but that i would probably never buy one, well, I am glad I decided to buy one even though I would have loved to have the extra cash to have bought a gts, it is still way better of a car than i dreamed and i am totally in love.
