Default rebuilding front end

ok, my mom is kinda pushing me to get a loan so i can build credit, and get the front of my car done. and i have a couple of questions about it. i have kyb shocks in the back and their freakin great, are they just as good up front? im not buying top of hte line stuff, but im not looking to restore the car to the original specs or anything. this stuff just needs replaced. what company coil springs would be good? and while everything is out i may choose to get a cam for the engine, and power brakes. i have a fairly large sway bar in the front, so that doesnt need replaced, but i have no idea the kinda parts that wear, other then bushings. i already have a power steering box that needs to be put in, and i need to get the pump still. and since the subframe is going to be ripped out, is there anything i need to look out for? and i want to replace all the bolts and nuts. their all rusted and look like crap. but before i can get this stuff torn apart, i need to get the other frame and a-arms dipped. and if any one would like to help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

A couple of good sites I came across.
http://www.lateral-g.net/
http://www.pro-touring.com/

Some 2nd Gen info.
http://www.camarolinks.com/2ndgen.htm

I’ll lend you a hand if you help me when I get my car. I am going to be looking for a 1st Gen as soon as I get my 240SX and Del Sol sold.
