Tokico HP, KYB GR-2, Illuminas... Which One?

since you are interested in going the coilover route but you "need" to replace them now, I voted for the kyb replacement strut. I am against spending the money twice, but maybe if you go big with the bilsteins then you won't feel the need to change to coilovers (unlikely if you are going to seriously road race you will want coilovers) just my 2 cents...

just curious, what if his response for what he wants was a "fun daily driver"? Im getting some Eibach springs for my 87 NA so I was just curious lol

I went with KYB and EiBach. I like the softer ride of my DD, plus if I blow out a strut, lifetime warranty! Sweetness. I like the Tein coilovers, they would be my next purchase IF I decide to keep the old car for a track/autocross car. Depending on what you REALLY want to do.......

Typically, if you're not spending $20000, the adjustable dampening on coil overs isn't worth a damn. I know so-n-so said his work pretty awesome, but the ass-dyno and a shock dyno are not typically the same thing.

Bilsteins and some springs and be done with it. Adjustable coilover suspension is just marketing crap that big companies sell to people who read too many car magazine advertisements. Ranks up there with "this filter will add 5 more horsepower, dyno proven"... when the error range of a dyno can be as high as 10hp to begin with. It's just hype.
