As you mentioned in your first post, your car isn't going to be tracked so spending a fortunate on some top notch suspension is pointless.
I've been looking at different suspensions options lately and would probably prefer brand new oem with slightly stiffer front springs to lessen dive under braking and give more direct feeling/connection. Can this be done anyone?
It might not be the fastest around the track, but I only do a handful of TD's a year and I find oem pretty good 99% of the time.

Where can I get intrax springs? and an idea on price?

Also, whats the spring rates on OEM? KW doesnt seem to have one as its a progressive spring.

I've asked before but never had a reply! Going by my Intrax I'd have a shot at 90/45

Nah, remember that the rear springs are in a different place on OEM so different leverage.

75 front 170 rear I reckon.

Good point, rears will be firmer than I said
