I agree w/ the above - maximummotorsports is the way to go. I went with bilsteins and coilovers and love the ride. It really all depends on what you want to do with the car. If you mainly just want a fun streetable car then I would go with the following:

FRONT:
Bilstein struts
H&R or Eibach springs (Progressive rate)
CC plates
Polyurethane swaybar & endlink bushings
Baer/Steeda bumpsteer kit
MM K-member brace

REAR:
Bilstein shocks
H&R or Eibach springs (Progressive rate)
FMS upper control arms
MM adj lower control arms
MM Panhard bar

This will give you a night and day difference in your suspension.
