I would start with a GOOD inspection of the stock components.
Replace any worn or questionable parts FIRST.
Before buying any corkcrap strut bars, invest in new bushings, ball joints and tie-rod ends.

Great advice. Too many times people "upgrade" their car without fixing what's there to start with. To me it's kind of like putting expensive wheels on your car when it is still only primered
