stock suspension is fine for 99% of all owners 99% of the time, the only reason to to go bigger is if the car rolls too much for you, I'd highly recommend a digressive gas shock, Bilstein B8 hd front and rear or HD front sport rear is a good starting point but they aren't digressive, fortunately if you aren't in a hurry they can be revalved for a reasonable price(Elephant Racing), You need new front struts any way so buy 930 fronts which come w/ Bilstein HD, For brakes stick w/ A or S front and M rear
If roll is an issue go no bugger than 20/26. Hollow sanders are among the nicest.
I'd put $ into 4x 7x15" wheels, ET23.3 Fuchs are nice and then use some decent tires, shorter side walls will degrade ride comfort, too tall will cause fitment issues, 205/60 or 205/55 is a a nice intermediate position to take

Bill,
Great suggestions.
I would still advocate for 16" wheels to get some better tire selections. My 1973 wears 6x16 Fuchs in all four corners with 205/55-16 tires. No fitment issues.
If I wanted to soften the ride (hopefully to make wife more willing to go with me), I would go with my original 6x15's with 195/65-15's 0r 185/70-15's.
