Default Need advise on suspension selection,,

I'm in the process of doing a complete front and back suspension overhaul, and debating on weather I should purchase quality parts (expensive, loll) or go with regular. I'm not talking about all the bushings, I'v decided on Poly, My car is only driven like 5k miles in the summer time and only when its sunny. All experienced suggestions would be appreciated.

I did a front end rebuild in Oct, rubber bushings, new stock springs, inner bearing seals and rear adjustable struts. The ride is a bit stiffer with the stock springs but aceptable, in the spring with new tires and a alignment it should be a very smooth ride. Good Luck
