Stock is 430-550 fronts and like 180-220 rear. You want a firmer ride, get 10% stiffer which is 450-580 & 200-250 like Eibach "Street" (or whatever they call them) or the HR ones...

I started with the Eibach ones, then moved to BBK 650# linears.
Now I have a Griggs tubular front end and 425# coilovers.

GET A PLAN. Figure how much and how soon you will spend the money. Then get a KIT (or package) or at least buy from the same company (dont mix/match).

I say get a set of springs (Eibach/HR) and shocks (Tokiko/Bilstein IMOHO -not- KYB).
THen get some subframes WELDED on.
Now STOP!!! (be satisfied, or it'll run you some serious cash doing tubular front ends and coilovers and wheels and tires...)
