I think you would be happier with good shocks and new springs more so than coilovers as you would may find most coilovers too firm.
Good to see he went right over it fairly thoroughly. 

Shaz
List of things:
 
Shock absorber replacement
Protective boots perished (just bits of rubber rings floating around that no-one has ever mentioned, plus bump stop thingy's missing)
Springs or maybe coil overs
Steering rack worn. Movement in housing bushes.  Steering rack mounts needed
Front strut bar bush's
Lower control arm inner bush's
Rear suspension tow link outer bush's in wheel hub
Rear sway bar mounts

After having all that replaced, it'll be ready to hit the track again Shaz 😉

If you want something adjustable, I can recommend the Koni Yellows. Just had a proper set fitted to my car and they're nothing short of amazing. 

Thanks for all the comments.  
I think he said it may be more economical to go with coil overs instead springs & shocks.
Will see what he comes back with on prices.
He was also being honest, saying it may not be worth spending the money on her & suggesting that i may be better off buying something else.

I think it's time to sell Shaz, buy yourself a neater one.

I'm going to jump on the springs and shocks band wagon, it's likely the way I'll be going eventually as I've done the whole coil over thing and wasn't really impressed and am yet to find a set that does good comfort and track. As its a daily I think that's the important one. 

In terms of the cost, it's going to be pricey but I think you should fix the bushes first, the $150 kit Eric mentioned sounds awesome and will improve the drive substantially. You can live with old shocks for a while (I do) its no real danger to yourself its just more boaty. 

And selling? Logic would dictate the idea is worth considering but I don't think any of us have followed logic, I should probably sell mine for a later one but I'm not going to. Keep SW20SC shes a good car and means more to you than just transport. These suspension fixes are fairly easy and will only take a few months for the bushes and a bit longer for the suspension. 

I agree, the minimum you need is the bushing kit, which is cheap and relatively easy to do!

I'd be happy to install these for you whilst the car is up in QLD getting work done. I believe the workshop you're going to has a press. 

Dont stress about the bump stops - not a big deal.

I'm not sure i agree, as a car can be part of the family. I know people that have spent thousands on their pets, and cars can have a similar attachment. I regret to this day selling my 77 Celica - It wasn't worth maintaining then, but their values have skyrocketed now, and i still miss it to this day.
Owning a MR2 is never a practical choice anyway, we bought them because of the way we feel about them. I doubt many of us could really justify the money we've spent on them.
Sharon might be able to buy a neater MR2, but it wouldn't be the same, and there's a risk that she'd inherit someone elses problems...
She could possibly buy an 86 if she's looking for a newer, more reliable car. (But it's not a MR2)
Whatever she decides, she's always appreciated by the MR2 Community :)
