Coilovers vs tbars, costs?

I know this has been discussed earlier but here is my situation. I am in the process of upgrading every suspension components in my car.
So I looked at the Elephant Racing website...
When I am done (shocks, tbars, adj sway bars, polybronze bushings, control arm mounts, monoballs) I am looking at roughly $3,500-$4,000k.

Can I get a coilover set up for less than that? And I would need to include reinforcing the chassis as the car was not itnended for this.

Thanks

Matteo

Coil over parts will run about $2500-$3000 plus the cost of chassis reinforcement.

But that only replaces the tbars and shocks in your list above. The other items apply in both cases.

I am putting coilovers in my car right now. I got a "steal" on used stuff and it is still gonna be pretty expemsive.
