KYB + Intrax will work... I'm using that combo. Just be aware the suspension feel will be pretty harsh, especially if the roads in your area are less than perfect.

Intrax springs - Summitracing.com
I think carcustoms.net has them too. Both are trustworthy vendors.
IIRC I ordered my struts and shocks from Shox.com.
Tirerack.com might still offer them too.
I'm using GR2 struts up front (only available) and Gas-a-just in the rear. GR2 rear shocks are also available apparently, but the Gas-a-just series is supposed to offer better dampening. I also freshened everything related to suspension when I did the struts/shocks...
front strut mounts (KYB)
rear shock mounts (KYB)
front strut boots (KYB)
I would definitely replace the front mounts... since the originals are prone to noise and failure when they age. Rear... if they are in decent shape, you can probably re-use the rear shock mounts, but at $10, I just replaced em. I'd also pick up a camber adjustment bolt kit ($20-30, 1 adjustable bolt per side up front) so that you don't run into a scenario where the shop cannot get this setup aligned and have to bring back.
