are you looking to lower the car?
if you are than the strano springs and revalved bilsteins or Koni adjustables are a good choice.
another tried and true spring setup is the eibach prokit.
if you're not so inclined to lower the car, a GOOD set of shocks will do wonders even on stock springs. the Koni adjustables are the topp choice, with bilsteins close behind.
sway bars will keep you level in the curves
panhard bar and lower control arms keep the rear end geometry in check (adjustable panhard if lowering).
a torque arm is a great upgrade but $$$, at a minimum get the $20 poly bushing for the front mount of the stock torque arm.
and as far as i'm concerned all our cars can benefit from sub frame connectors. for the average car any of the available 2 point setups will work just fine, boxed or tubular. they all help.

Strano springs and sways + Konis = KILLER but $$$$. I LOVE mine. Search the suspension forum and you will learn the Eibach kit is not very highly thought of but the LT kit has stiffer back springs than the LS to help keep you off the bumpstops so it is a little better. Strano has a bunch of research and autoX championships to back his stuff up. Top shelf = Strano if handling is your want IMHO.
BTW last I checked there were no more strano revalved Bilsteins available but maybe its changed?

u wouldnt believe teh difference that just subframe connectors can make. my umi 3points that are bolt on type fit awesome. dont hang down low. gotat realy look to find em. also umi also offers a great suspension package featuiring sams spings and adj koni and a whole slew of stuff for a good price. it wil make ur car handle liek its on rails fm what i hear. i am waiting teh install of the stuff form sam and more suspension parts. but my lower control arms and subframes made a HUUUGE difference in my eyes.
