Go with Tokico Illuminas (or other Tokicos)

I like the KYB AGX but any shock from KYB (GR2, AGX, GAB) will hit the bumpstops (at least on the front) with a 2 1/4 inch drop. I've know a few people who have gotten AGX for the rear and Illuminas for the front. (I think because the AGXs are a bit cheaper so they bought AGXs, and they were tired of hitting the bumpstops so they just changed the fronts to Tokicos)

I'm not sure what bars to get, but for brake pads, get porterfield pads! The guys up in New England DSM who autocross the most (Fedja, Charles Moss) and others (including me) swear by them.

If it's going to still be street driven, go for the R4S pads (they are still good for the street but work very well, this is what I have and they are expensive, but worth it). If you don't mind chewing up a set of rotors with each set of pads and want the best braking you can get, then get the R4 or R4E pads.

All porterfield pads are expensive though, but I think they are worth it. For regular driving or even some autocross a metal masters set would be fine, but I like the good stuff :)
