You can get V-MAXX coils from Stratmosphere for like $600. Good for a DD that you want low, but don't expect them to last if you track the car on weekends. A little more high-end would be H&R or Bilstein or somethin, I'm sure if you shop you could get them for under $1500. The search link is also a good place to start, i'm sure there are plenty of threads about this with way more info that you can find way faster.

Install them yourself, it's simple. With 1500 you could get some vmaxx's and wheels!

I was 17 when I put my coilovers in with no suspension experience and a friend with less of an idea of what's going on. It's pretty easy just follow these instructions (skipping the first four pointless steps!) http://www.audiworld.com/tech/wheel28.shtml

EDIT: don't skip step 1.
