So what set of coilovers would I be looking at then and where do I buy? Keep in mind I really can't do too drastic of the drop; my driveway is kinda steep right when I pull in.
I thought coilovers had a really stiff ride and that's not what I'm looking for, is that true or am I crazy? My LS is pretty much stock which is why I was thinking coilovers would be overkill. I have stock rims here guys!
I was really hoping to not spend over a grand on this project, I need to buy a set up RCA bushings and pop those in too so that'll be another $70 or so.
Thanks for the input so far

there are a few vendors here on the site that will sell u megan coils for around $820-$840 shipped. there are also a few ksport vendors here that will sell u some ksports for around the same price.
as for the stiffness of coilovers thats where the the fully adjustable part comes in. you can make them as stiff/soft/low you want.

I'm starting to think the Megan's are really the way to go. The only thing I'm worried about would be the whole winter thing...I'm in MN, this is my daily driver..are these going to hold up to MN winters? I certainly don't want to be replacing these. Is this the part # I would need for my 1991: MR-CDK-LL91? I was seeing some vendors saying that's for 95-00. Sorry for the dumb questions but I haven't been able to keep up with everything recently since I have 2 jobs, house, family, baby on the way

Thanks for the input and great pics trukn1.
Well, I decided to go the H&R/KYB route. Yeah it would be cool to have coilovers but I think it's overkill for my situation. I think this will be a huge improvement as it is. I've got everything ordered now so hopefully it will all get to me by friday.

Well, I got the rears in a few days ago but I still have a bad rattle when going over even small bumps. I didn't replace the shock mounts, could those cause a rattle? When I push down on the corner of the car that rattles it makes a click type of sound. Any ideas?
My RCA bushing is really worn out but it really don't think that's the cause of the rattle sound.

I always take pics .
Well, I was able to take a look at it yesterday and the rattle is coming from the sway bar link that I mangled when trying to remove it. I've got parts on order and decided to get the shock mounts too just in case. Now the question is how do I remove the rusted sway bar links? I'm thinking a saw might be in order.
