I'd start with buying some good used lenses, or new ones depending on your budget. The conversion to the good Euro glass lenses also requires changing the corner lamps- it's a reasonable sized job but not necessarily easy. The likelihood of rusted bolts that refuse to come out is very high, and you'll end up destroying the lights on the car in order to swap over. Or the light brackets anyway.
Try to find some that are nice and clear and you'll be amazed at the difference if your present lenses are yellow and cloudy.
I'm happy with the Bilstein Touring struts and shocks, coupled with Turbo sway bars, and GT strut-to-firewall braces. 195/60-15 tires on Virgo turbo rims, and it's an entirely different car. For your driving over rough roads, you might like the Boge/Sachs shocks better, coupled with upgraded sway bars. Definitely buy the new rubber mounts and brackets for the bars, you'll be amazed at how bad the old ones are in comparison.
Good luck with it!
