Default Just pondering

Hi all,
I'm going to replace the front suspension and maybe the rear, as this winter’s project. With the various group purchases going around, I'm trying to decide what to do.
The VBP premium package would be nice, but I don't know, really more than I want. Steroids would be nice too; I don't have power steering, maybe adding that too wouldn't hurt. $$ Not sure what front springs would be best. I want to go a stiffer rate like the 460 lbs., but they seem to lower the car an inch, and I'm running 265/50's all around and don't have the clearance for that. Better tie rod sleeves, bump steer kits...etc..etc..
I'm over analyzing and confusing myself.
Not a daily driver, but I drive it every day, and just want a good handling car to enjoy the mountain roads we have around here.
Anyway just pondering.
Jon
