Suspension overhaul. Opinions???
Looking for opinions.
I have a 1988 N/A FC3 w/o electronic suspension. The suspension is all original and I am going to give it a complete overhaul. It is street driven with a factory reman motor, so I don't want to go crazy, but I do plan to autocross or road course it one day.
What is everyone else running and what might you all recommend?

I had considered Bilstein, but have not yet researched price and availability. I had been considering Tokico but they are a little high. My top pick so far has been KYB AGX. What do you think of them?
For springs I had considered Eibach pro-kit until I discovered the racing beat spring and sway bar package. That is now my top choice. I am really glad to hear you suggest that.
I will look into Bilstein. Thanks for the input.

bilsteins are some of the best shocks you can buy, comparable to moton, jrz, ohlins, etc. the downside being they are not adjustable. they are the cheapest to rebuild/revalve (half the price of konis), and can be done by just about anyone. there are walkthroughs online for revalving your own shocks, if you were so inclined.
if you feel the need to fiddle with *****, then i guess they arent for you, but i'd recommend bilsteins to anyone. best bang for the buck by far. if i did my whole coilover setup over again, it would be on those (revalved of course)
