Reply to "Coilover Recommendations ?"

Be aware that none of the adjustable coil-over shock sets are truely bolt-on-and-drive-away. There's considerable work involved in setting the car up so its at least as good as what you have as-stock, and the heights of all 4 corners are acceptible for driving streets in your area.. This is easiest done with a four-corner weighing system such as Longacre. Most real race teams have a set that you might be able to rent time on, or the Pantera shops also own sets. What you're trying for is equal weights on both fronts and both rear tires, which will not be the case when you first add the new coil-overs. Then, you just start walking around the car, first adjusting the right-front (which will affect the left-rear and the left front weights). If you're careful, a sack the same weight as the normal driver will be in the drivers seat and the gas tank will be half-full during this exercise. Setting the ride height and corner weights is a matter of infinite repetition until the corner weights are as close as you can get them. I've seen this phase take half a day. Once done, re-align the wheels to your desired specs since the height adjustments will have altered that setting likely both front & rear. Now its time to set the bounce & rebound values on each shock, with a short drive after each adjustment. I'd suggest setting both fronts the same, and both rears the same, to prevent weird handling in bumpy corners. Adjustable coil-overs are very similar to pro race-car stuff and the proper set-up procedure is identical, if you hope to take advantage of your expensive new parts.
