      Hello Laurent
      You have nice cars over there.
      It seems like that black beauty does not need to spend a big pile of money to convert into a nice pro tourer.
      Depending on your budget the limit is the sky you know that very well I guess.
      First and most important advice:
      Make a good plan at the beginning that you keep seriously otherwise you will bury a lot of money into this car.



      If you don't want to fabricate ( welding etc.) and want a simple bolt in stuff that you can change back to original when the time is coming to take your car to the periodic vehicle inspection ( I know this is a big headache and sucks all over in Europe with aftermarket parts that does not have the EU required documentations ) then I would suggest the ridetech streetGRIP or Hotchkis system.
      The ridetech 4 link and Speedtech torq arm systems need some kind of modification that you can not convert it back quickly unless you have a spare factory rear end with leaf springs. However their front coil over suspensions are very nice and easy to convert it back.
      I DO recommend the steering box. You don't need rack and pinion.
      You will have a new front suspension anyway so a nice quick ( 12.7 or 14.1) ratio steering box will do the job perfectly. It will be like a new high end sport car. Believe me it is better than the aftermarket rack and pinion and it is cheaper also.
      Save your money for a nice set of 2 or 3 pc's wheel. ( there are some nice quality wheels available here in Europe too if Forgline wheels are out of your budget)
      If you want only a nice pro tourer with a good look good stance and handling without serious autoX or road racing in mind those cheaper Ridetech and Hotchkis suspensions will do the job. Each of those system would give you a nice lowered look with way better handling. BUT!!! The wheels will make your final look.
      Just an example:
