I just p/u the tokico dsk-501 set, includeds dspec struts and springs,(740 delivered). have not installed it yet, but i will let you know how it works out. if money is no issue probably tein ss coilovers or the rk sport coil overs would be better.
I've had a few spring/strut setups now:
Sportlines on stock struts (mega-sucked)
Sportlines on Koni Reds (awesome look, rides a little harsh)
Pro-Kit on Koni Reds w/ Monroe strut mounts (rides nice, a little more road clearance for low body kits is a good thing)
Rear N-body IRS swap w/ N-body Eibach Pro-Kit on KYB GR2's...
I've never bothered with air ride (not practical for the nasty roads in Vancouver... always under construction! too bouncy...)... nor coil-overs...
I've done all the "bars" too... stock FE2 bars... stock FE1 front bar.. front Eibach sway bar (thick!!).. front GM strut tower brace... Addco rear sway bar (also thick!!).. PartsForYourCar.com rear N-body sway bar.. RK Sport rear J-body strut tower bar.. Control FX tie bar.. Control FX subframe brace (x2, smashed one good!).. homemade tie bar.. Homemade subframe brace..
If I was going to do it all again, I'd start with the IRS swap... which gives you rear discs too, if you get the right rear end... then do the front N-body brake swap (with W or F body front brakes to make it 12" in the front!)... so the bolt pattern matched... then lower it right - Eibach Pro-Kit (J-body in front, N-body in rear), with KYB AGX's to match each corner. Then the PFYC N-body rear bar, Eibach front bar, and whatever other bars you want... strut tower front and rear, subframe... make it ride like it's on rails!
Air ride! Adjustable height and dampening!!!! Good for everything lol! Nah, If you have HARSH! roads I really wouldn't get bags.

everyone has a different opinion on "best". to me the it would be the tein ss
yeah i would agree w ßãggéÐÇåv98 (Ûñqùðtäߣè Øñé) and Cherubim i have them on my 04 cavvy w tokico d-spec shocks n struts and it gives u a really nice ride and it habdles alot better
Koni yellows and Ground control coil-overs.
if your not changing the rear suspension out for IRS then the best one i think out there is the Tein SS cause they come with some nice strut mounts that should last as long as the set up will.. plus you can get the efdc from Tein and make adjustments to your dampening rate of your struts from the inside of your car.
