You already have a coil-over spring/shock setup from the factory on the front. What you don't have is the ability to adjust the ride height. You would need a shock with a threaded body and a matching spring seat. HAL makes them. Others, too.

HAL/QA1 shock with Eibach Pro-Kit spring

You would have to buy a kit to relocate the rear spring, and get a similar shock with threaded body and seat for the back.

Yes... definately get new shocks.

I have the Ground-Control coilovers, and I like it.

Where is the best place to get the HAL setup?
I would need a lowering spring set also?

Dont mean to thread highjack but I already have the springs for the front..I think they are a 900# spring. What else would I need just the shock and the "mount". I would use this setup up front and a set of hotchkins in the back.

Does this sound like a plan?
