Default Need suspension input

I'm going to get new suspension for my car but not sure what i should get. It's a 93 CX hatchback with a GSR swap. I don't know wheter to get coilovers or springs/shocks. I don't know what to do if i buy springs, due to the extra weight up front from the gsr swap, i'm thinking that it's not enough to make a difference. I have 16's and i would like to get rid of the wheel gap. I'm wondering if Eibach sportline springs will do this or what brand does everyone like ? H&R, Neuspeed, Skunk2 I was also thinking of AGX shocks with a lowering spring. Or should i go with a coilover. The car will be daily driven with autocross maybe a few times a summer at most. I want something thats somewhat comfortable.

get new shocks, stock shocks will blow out in a couple weeks. there are lots of good brands, pretty much all the ---- you listed are good brands.

Then either get just a lowering spring, or a lowering spring and coil over sleeve package. Used springs are good too since you don't have to let the car settle for very long like new springs, so you can get a an alignment right away.(make sure you get an alignment) The gsr swap makes no difference.
