Question 1981 Elford Turbo back on the road

Hello everyone!
After a long time, I decided to make a good service to the dear SA22C Elford Turbo, with the arrival of the new Italian plates (after only 9 years!). Some time ago, with the previous Rx-7s, I relied on Mazdatrix and KYB as suspensions, but I see that many things are no longer available. My Elford, in particular, is empty of shock absorbers and very vague on the front: I would like to change all the necessary elements (like bushing), without spending an exaggeration. Do you have any advice or directly links to kindly suggest me? Also on Ebay there is a lot of stuff, even among the radiators, but I have no evaluations or ideas on which models are better.
Many thanks to those who will help me and sorry for my English

I live in France, but I ordered all the steering parts from Rockauto.com
For the bushing, I took everything from Energy Suspensions.
Shock absorbers, I bought from Racing Beat the Tokico, but I see they are NLA.

As I hate the stock geometry that allows nearly no camber, I bought lower control arms from TechnoToyTuning, it is expensive but it was worth it.
