I use the bilstein RSR full coilover kits on the early 911's and 930's. Remove the torsion bars, and run about a 300/400 spring front/rear.

Yes, I have sold and installed dozens of these kits. Plan on about 3k in parts, plus install and alignment. Not cheap, but will really drastically improve the suspension and corning of the car while still retaining a nice ride. Also allow budget for things like tie rod ends and ball joints depending on their condition.
