Coilovers aren't reserved exclusively for turbo cars - all a turbo car does is get you up to speed quicker. An NA can keep up in the turns quite easily, you only lose out on the straight. The coilovers have absolutely transformed the ride for me - I highly recommend them.

I'm just using BC Racing. Great for street and occasional track. If I was doing more track, I'd get something better suited.

Yes, it varies a lot between states. In NSW, coilovers ARE allowed as long as they
meet or exceed the original specifications of the parts they replace (there are no formal documented restrictions on adjustable or fixed coilovers either), but changing your height
does require engineering (used to be 5cm either way allowed).
But unfortunately in NSW, the big downside is that even with full engineer documentation and certification, a cop reserves the right to defect you anyway and make you go get checked out. You'll spend $200, have an engineer tell you all your stuff is in order (even the RMS will say so) and there's nothing you can do to get your time and money back. People with completely factory stock cars have been defected before.
I was going to procrastinate, but I put it off...
