Default Tracking vs. Coilovers

I go to trackdays maybe once or twice a month. But i will be leaving the country early may/07 for good. Should i buy a set of coilovers? Is it a good investment to make? Does it make that much of a difference on the track? Most likely i will be purchasing secondhand coilovers. (around $800).

Help me out!
Thanks guys!

You will certainly notice the difference and I would throw in a set of sway bars while you're at it.

Considering there's going to be a lot of rain between now and May (not many track days), and you're leaving the country for good, I wouldn't even waste my money on getting coilovers, even if they're $800. That's assuming you're not taking the car with you. I'd save up that money for next car you get. hahaha ha
