DeuceGirl hit the nail on the head. Use the same components front and rear - struts and springs. These cars like balance and just rebuilding the front end or the RR etc. will only lead you to at worst an accident or a poor driving experience and tendency to trash the car design. Use quality components, and you won't regret it in the long run.

If you have any mechanical skills you can pick up a spring compressor for less than $20.00 and do the job yourself, saving a bunch over what a shop would charge.

Suspension parts to repair back to stock or better will show themselves in many ways.

I didn't purchase or install all my parts at once, but don't regret any I've put in.

In a car this old, it's not just springs and struts that have worn, your ball joints and all the bushings have just as many miles. None are extremely hard to replace, and all effect the handling of a car where little things can really show a great improvement in the cars overall handling.
