My shocks are actually pretty new. I'm not doing springs/shocks until I rebuild the whole suspension at once. I'm thinking Tokico HP's, RB Springs, RE-Speed C/C kit, Mazda rubber bushings, G-Force tri-point rear bar, RB front sway, stock rear sway.
If this car is going to be used for a lot of auto-x, then you'll want to skip the RB springs and go with the RE-Speed coilover kits. For a little more money you end up with adjustability in both height, corner weights, and you can swap springs for different rates. Also skip the RB front bar. It's heavy as hell and all that weight sits forward of the front wheels. That's abad place to be adding weight. Now, I'm not saying RB parts aren't well built, but they were designed about 20-25 years ago. They haven't been updated or improved upon. RE-Speed parts were designed in the last few years, using new technology and techniques. Customer service is also fantastic, where RB took more than a week to get back to me about a question regarding my rear sway bar.

Good luck
