Make a PLAN!
What do you wana do? Do you want a street car you drive to work everyday? or just occasionally to work and sunny days? or roadcourse car? And be HONEST, how often will you autocross or roadrace or NEEEEEED those suspension pieces... I am just trying to have you make a good decision.
For starters:
#1. WELDED subframe connectors. Even my WIFE noticed that I did "something" to the car. Now _thats_ seat-o-pants improvement.
#2. Springs and shocks. I personally had the Eibach 450-580# variable rate 1.5" lowering springs. Great spring for the street with 10% stiffer than stock. Quality spring with no sagging or variances. Then I went more track oriented and went with 650# BBK linears. I ran these for a few years. Not much different on the street, but the track noticed less dive in braking. I am currently )ok, when it gets warmer in the garage) putting in a K-member and coilovers with 900# equivalent springs.
3. Wheels/tires (EXPENSIVE). The first two will make your car feel sporty. The wheels/tires will actually _make_ the difference. Start with at least 16x8 whells and 245 tires. 17's (old GT tri-spokes) can be had for not too much money, and 255 tires work great. You will need to convert to 5-lug which is more money...
4. Suspension pieces. this get exotic and expensive quick. An you will need all of the above to make use of it. I'm talking like torque-arms and panhards and control arms and coilovers and swaybars...
