You are pretty much limited to lowered springs and a small selection of shocks there are no coil over kits that are under $4000 that you can buyt off the shelf. However you can get people like noltech to make custom coilovers for less than $2000.

Twosrus.com supply a complete urethane bush set for the aw11 at quite a reasonable cost.

Whiteline make adjustable swaybars for the aw11.

How much of a budget does your friend have and how extreme does he want to go?

Firstly the best thing you can do for your car is get a half decent wheel alignment (this does not mean taking your car to bob jane) by someone who has setup race cars b4. With the aw11 they have quite an ammount of adjustability from the factory.

Toe Camber and Caster can all be adjusted

If you have an s/c you may want to use more rear camnber.

Most setups ive read about use maximum caster. I would aim for about 2 degs -tive camber in the front and 1.5 deg -tive in the rear.
Im not sure about the toe settings but the alaingment guy should be able to help. Also the guys in the aw11 annonomus thread have done some setup testing in their aw11's so they should be able to help. This should cost about $100

If it were me and the shocks in the car were half decent then I would start with urethane bushes and adjustable sway bars. Which including labour would come in under $1000.

After that I would look at getting some custom coil overs made I would budget $2000-$2500 for them.

Lastly i would look at getting some adjustable strut tops for camber and possibly (depending on which brand you go for) caster. This would only serve the purpose of making adjustments on the fly at the racetrack
