For the ultimate STREET car I would concentrate on the engine first 
because how often does one pull a 1.0G turn on the streets?  The 2.5 EVO 
would be a good start.  Most folks will tell ya' that coil-overs for the 
street can be too harsh and shake the car apart.  I would stick with 
something like Eibach of H&R sport springs with Bilstein sport shocks.  
If this car will see a bunch of drivers schools and not much street than 
go with the BMW motorsport group-N Coil-overs.  Just my $.02 cents 
worth...I hope others will chime in.
