There is a suspention thread in the FAQ's that you could read over. I'm not sure how up to date it is but it should give you a better idea of what to look for.

& here is a tread with pictures & specs of members suspention setups.

Not necessarily. There are different spring rates and different styles of shock that will determine your ride quality. Depends on the combination that you choose.

I have heard great things about skunk2s springs and coilovers. Progress (i think thats the company) i have heard recommended. D2s are good. Just depends on what you are looking for. Tein is alot of people's default choice for a nice comfortable ride. If this is your DD then you should look into a simpler setup that'll still give you nice handling and low stance.

true enough my man!
im definitely aiming for the simple set-up. i want a clean looking ride that's good for all seasons (Toronto winters and shitty roads).

thanks for the info too, im considering eibach sportline or tein.
