For suspension you can buy a complete kit from
the Fiero Store.
www.fierostore.com Link to the kit page:

It includes:
Polyurethane bushings - These remove flex out of the control arms as well as keeping the rear cradle from shifting/flexing.
Eibach springs - These will lower the car about 1" and will give it a firm feel.
New Stabilizer bars - Changes the front and adds one to the rear for excellent cornering with limited sway.
Now for shocks and struts. They sell three kits. One with
Monroe shocks and struts. Basically factory replacements for street use. The second kit is
KYB shocks and struts. This is good for street use and the occassional auto-cross, Firm than factory but keeps the ride smooth when driving on the street. The third kit has
KONI's. These are adjustable and perfect for serious auto-crossers. The
KONI's are more expensive but if you plan on having a lot of track time they are well worth it.
You also do not need to buy the kit upfront. They do sell the individual parts so if you are on a budget and want to buy the parts over a period of time, you can.
When I did my suspension I bought all the performance parts and replacement parts (tie rods, ball joints, etc.) over the span of a couple of months. Then in one weekend I removed the entire suspension and replaced everything with the new parts.
As for brakes, There are a few brake kits available. The one I like is made by
V-8 Archie.
www.v8archie.com The big brake kit page is:
http://www.v8archie.com/v8Archie/Prod5.htm
His kit uses 4 custom plates to mount the new calipers. You then use Chrysler Lebaron rotors, These are larger vented rotors. The front calipers are from a Camaro/Firebird and the rears are from a
Cadillac. The reason he uses the
Caddy rears as it hooks up to the parking brake without any problems. Alot of the other kits do not allow you to use the parking brake.
The master cylinder needs to be swapped to one from a full size Chevy Blazer. When you buy the kit from Archie he can sell you the made items and give you a list of what you need to buy or you can buy the entire kit from him and just bolt it on.
NOTE: The new rotors are larger diameter and you may need to go to 16" wheels. The 15" factory wheels will work, but wheel weight placement can interfere if it is in the wrong spot and it is a very close fit. 16" (or bigger) is better as air flow over the rotors is better. Especially when doing "spirited" driving. Also the factory spare will not fit.
Hope this has answered most of your questions.
