Take a look at the Belltech coil-overs.

hey john, are you using those shocks with your factory springs or the ground force springs? Im thinking about giving those shocks a shot and throw my stock springs back in there to get rid of the 'mcgaughys bounce' ....

Yes Im using them with the factory springs and it rides great. They are nice because you set the height with spacers that raise or lower the bottom spring mount plate. I only have mine set at 1" drop but Im thinking of going down another 1".
For someone wanting to go lower or just piece together a drop this is the way to go...same price as coils too.

good question!!! so what would ride better since i want 3" of drop from the spring/strut should i:

a: keep the mcg 2" springs and use the struts to drop just 1"
b: put stock springs back in a use the struts to drop 3"

im looking for a better performance feel... NO BOUNCING!!!!
