As I am rebuilding, I want to make my modifications now. I am trying to decided what parts to keep and restore and what to go new with.

I will check out those Koni sport shocks. My biggest question is if I should go to coil overs and a new setup up that will allow for 3.5" mounting brakes
For Street, coil overs and bigger brakes do nothing for you but deplete your wallet. The stock ATE M Calipers are way more than is needed for ordinary driving.

It looks like you may have Konis struts already. These can be rebuilt for less than new units.
