You can get the QA1 fron and Back kit from thunder racing, and I think I've seen it on BMR's site as well. part#86-PKG-2.

thunder racing has the Bilstein Suspension Kit that comes with 4 springs rather than 2 fronts only on the QA1 as well, Part #133-BTS-7501.

Both are good, but the QA1 is better.

thats what I know about, and Hope some one with more knowledge comes in and Helps you, tyr posting in the suspension form as well you get information from more people as well, Good luck.

I would suggest that you go with Koni SA(single adjustable) shocks. You can reuse your stock springs which will help out your wallet. This setup is great because it's autocross worthy and daily driver friendly. You decide how firm or soft the suspension is going to be. The shocks are simple to adjust and for the money no other setup can come close, IMO.
