I have no experience with springs/shock replacements. I DO own a 1996 WS6 TA and can tell you that the WS6 suspension components are a big improvement over the standard TA-Z28 suspension.

The items I have modified, and you didn't mention, are Sub Frame Connectors and Strut Tower brace. The addition of these pieces has improved my handling significantly even over the WS6 suspension. I highly recommend them.

Specifically I used the Hotchkis SFCs and 2 point STB. The SFCs fit PERFECTLY and were easily welded in by a local shop.
