what year? you made a post for an 87 earlier. if this is the same car, then it's actually a 3rd gen.

i believe the best shocks you can find right now are from Tokico, the illuminas. Koni stopped making them, but if you can find a used set you can get them rebuilt and shortened. Tien made a limited number and i think there is only one set left. upgraded torsien bars can be found by upgrademotoring.com and rear suspension can be found by a few people including ground control. concensus is that the ADDCO rear swaybar is one of the best to get and you'll need an adjustable panhard bar for when you lower to re-center the rear axle under the back of the car.
