If you want C5 brakes, 17/18" rims, and a certain level stance and corrected geometry. How many option do I have to get there?
For the brakes, do you go with spindles that accept C5 brakes or just user your stock spindle with a bracket conversion?
For the stance, do you keep it simple with drop springs or do you pay up for adjustable coil overs?
For the upper/lower A-arms you can spend many hours looking into if they have geometry correction. Some use tall BJ and some have added caster. Some don't have any at all. Lowers arms are the same way.
For the spindles, if you decide to go aftermarket do you go with a lowering spindle? I believe most are a tall spindles so you don't need the tall BJ.
Then in the end you don't know if its all going to play well together, depending on what route you took. You may end up with horrible bump steer, rims don't fit, tire rub or a horrible ride.

My advise is to be honest with yourself about what you want the car to do and how you're actually going to use it. What you end up doing looks a lot different for a weekend show car vs a competitive CAM-T auto-x car.
85-90% of people on this board will be thrilled with a set of tall ball joints, a good set of shocks, maybe an aftermarket sway bar, lowering springs and a modernized alignment.
