it really is a matter of what YOU consiter "best"...from what i've seen and read on the board...
kyb's are basicly the same as your stock strut/shock, and will run around 2-250 for a set.
konis are adjustable, from soft to firm...with the softest setting being close to stock. theyre more expensive, and need cut 'n welding into the rear strut housing..but if you can afford it..its a sweet way to upgrade..some one who has them can add a price for ya..
as far as springs,...there are a ton of brands out there, and a bunch of diffrent drops...again its all about what you want..and how big your buget is.
the tiens seem to be the hot choice right now, i think therye a 1.5" drop, and from what i've read ride pretty close to stock
intrax are a 1.75 (i think) and are stiffer than stock (tighter handling.. )
eibach has both a 1"(prokit) and a 1.5"(sportlines) set, both are stiffer than stock, i have had the sportlines for over a yr and a half..and really love them, they are definetly stiffer (great for killin off-on ramps ) and kill the wheelgap nicely..
there are still a few more too...ie:toms, TRD, dropzone,ect...
