Starting with the suspension, there is no single answer. UMI makes great products, BMR makes great products, Founders is inexpensive and good from what I hear, and Spohn makes great products.

First plan of attack, for me, would be to get it in working order. If your steering components are original, get rid of them. Replace them with a kit of your liking. Spohn makes a steering rebuild kit for around $300 that is good. Otherwise you can go to Rockauto and piece together a kit, of the same components, for less. If your struts and shocks are worn out replace those. KYB makes factory replacements that work rather well. If you have a higher budget go for Koni yellows. They are rebuidable and adjustable. They make great replacements. I had the KYB in my car for a long time and they worked great, until I lowered the car a lot. Then I would look at the bushings, swaybar, a-arms, etc. If they are cracked replace them. That will get you going and make a huge difference in ride quality. If you get that done quickly then you can move onto quality tires, subframe connectors, adjustable panhard bar, adjustable LCAs, adjustable torque arm, adjustable caster camber plates, adjustable a-arms, tubular k-member, and the list goes on and on and never ends. It is addicting.

On how rare your car is, it isn't. That is not meant to be mean, but there were TONS of third gens built and unless you find someone looking for that specific car it will bring no more than a normal third gen of those specs.

 

if a smooth ride is what you seek then you are likely best off getting some very tall tires, and parts store replacement shocks
