you could get a ae101 dash cluster (jdm silvertop) i've seen them in ae82's. only problem is youll have to do some heavy modifications to your dash to make it fit i'd imagine. ive seen people swap in the whole ae101 dash into an ae82 on the net, but those were all into right-hand drive 82's, we don't get that luxury. you could always just buy an aftermarket elec. speedo from autometer or any other guage company and mount it like a tach. i just suggested the revspeedmeter cause that's what im planning on and it lets you monitor more engine details for a pretty cheap price (i was just going to mount mine on the ledge/shelf area on the dash where the clock is).
as far as aftermarket ecu's you can use any universal standalone, but i haven't really seen any plug and play ones (i'm sure theyre out there but your gonna have to start calling up companies oversea's most likely if your set on them). the whole 25-50HP power gain is too optimistic for a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. you could see that with high lift/duration cams, open throttles, full exhaust and headers, head work, etc. and a good tune. a good piggyback would be enough for a quick street car with mild-medium mods. i know TOM'S makes a plug and play reprogrammed 20V ecu, with an upped rev-limiter to 9000 rpm (for the silvertop)(i don't know much about it though). once my silvertops up and running i'm planning on using a blacktop ecu with a MAP wiring conversion, so i can run open throttles, and either an apex'i or greddy piggyback.
as for suspension, check out Whiteline Australia. i've talked to them before and they were very helpful with good prices. they make basically every possible suspension component for the ae82 (even for us singlecam guys). struts, springs, sways, bushings, struts braces, etc. you can buy staged kits from them as well.
