Get some adjustable shocks and keep the Neuspeed springs you have now..
KYB AGX or Tokico illuminas can be had for under $300 off ebay..
polyuerathane bushing kit..Around 100-130
dont waste your money with strut bars..They do nothing for the 88-91 chassis except look good and get in the way.88-91 chassis is already stiff..
Only a roll cage will actually stiffen up the chassis more then it already is..

But if you wanna be hardcore then you can get some re-vavled koni yellows with coilovers and custom rate springs...

But before u decide on a set-up..is this a drag racer,,auto-x,,street car/strip car..or just a daily driver ??

Well if its a daily driver then kyb-agx or tokico illuminas would be good for you
They're both adjustable to give you a nice firm ride or a smooth ride for the highway..Lots of people have them set in the middle..
Tokico has a better warranty then kyb.....
and you should stick with the nuespeed springs you have now..or if you want different springs I recomend Eibach sportline or Pro-kit...Eibach springs never sag

first thing i would do is check your rear trailing arm bushing, and replaced them if needed...

keep the springs like mentioned and pick up some AGX's, i have em with Sportlines and they are good for daily driver, light auto-x, make sure all your bushings are good as well...

then get some good tires(daily driver i use yokohama avs es100) and light-mid weight 15's...

you should be set for daily driver and some auto-x duty...

revalved shortend koni's with custom spring rate G/C is prefectly fine for daily driving... as long as you arent above the 450-500 range in spring rates.
