General Googling
Springs - Chinese no-name springs are sooo cheap on eBay. 500F/300R or so. Or 700F/500R.
Brakes - stock rotors and calipers are just fine, do ducts & fluid. Pads - how much do you want to spend? I use G-Loc XP10/XP8 (aka Carbotech) - a Spec Miata popular setup.
Camber - 2.5 ish, caster - max it out, toe - zero it out
Sways - OEM is good on rear, go more burly on front
Manual or power steering is a good question - the hot setup is to depower a PS rack (search webz for right way), that's what I have on my track day car. So much front end feel. But might be too much for the arms on a Lemons length stint.
Radiator - more cooling always better
Rear axles - ?
25X Loser - Delinquent Racing - '86 Rust-Tite Merkur - 9 years (when do I get to stop?).
