Upgrading suspension

I want to upgrade the suspension in MP5, and I was wondering what my best option is for a daily driver that will see occasional autox?

From what I have read, I believe the eibach pro-kit springs offer a good balance between comfort and performance because they are progressive springs. What about struts, would I necessarily need to upgrade them for he best performance and comfort?

Thanks
 
I got the tokico blues with spring. Very nice springs for DD, gives like a 1" drop up front and maybe 1.5" in the back. Has a good feel to them, but not too stiff. Up to you but for 500 bucks I thought it was well worth it. Throw in a rear sway bar and maybe some ford escort endlinks and you have a solid suspension.
 
Cool, thanks for the input. I just did my first autocross, and the car was pretty good. The suspension was okay, but I think I need new tires before I do another event.

I was looking at tokico illuminas, any thought?
