well I don’t have a lot of money to spend on a suspension but i have around 150k on the stock suspension and I think it’s time to get an upgrade, I want pure performance. I’m not worried about ride comfort. What is the cheapest set up you guys would recommend.
To me, a cheap suspension is $1k. I'd go for Neuspeed Konis with Ground Controls. If you want cheaper than that, then go with Tokico Illuminas with H&R Sport or (if you dare) "Race" springs. That setup should run around $550 to $600.
The OTS and Neuspeed Konis are a bit soft IMO, so I'd say for the best bang for the buck, buy a set of used Konis, send them to Koni to be revalved (and have them add more rebound stop length), and then add Ground Controls to that setup. If you did SPSS3 revalving, that setup ought to kick the crap out of just about any other OTS kit available like anything from Tein, JIC, etc. You're looking at around $1,200 to $1,500, though.
I'd change out your bushings. I swapped out every bushing possible, except the UCA bushings, at 133k. 10k later, the UCA bushings are going out. From what I read afterwards, it's common for that to happen when lowering on a high mileage suspension. You might want to install camber kits if you intend on having a proper alighnment.

well let me get your opinion first, cheap. and i'm not opposed to getting a used setup with low miles.
