Fortune Auto coilovers are popular, but there are a lot of options. You can do a full coilover in the rear or you can keep with the stock divorced setup with separate strut and spring. SPL suspension bits are by far the best - get all of them if you can afford it.
Common square setup is 18x10.5 +18 with 10mm spacers in the rear.
Grab a Hotchkis front sway. Leave the stock rear sway. Or you might even decide to remove the rear sway altogether.
Make sure you budget for a ZSpeed CMAK kit to replace the stock CSC which is prone to failure.
Sustained high RPM driving in warmer temps will likely necessitate a proper oil cooler (stock one is worthless when the coolant gets hot).
Thanks for all that info! Sounds good.
