Question Need parts & prices

Here is a list of parts I would like to price and possibly buy for my 1990 LS

- 1-piece JDM headlights

- Woodgrain dash kit

- New driver's door window controls

- Hood Support Shocks

If anyone can help me get any of these, or if you can tell me a price on them I would appreciate it.
Im also looking for a set of 18s with out tires. Also, can anyone recommend a decent suspension system (coil-overs maybe??) that will lower me about 1" - 1.5" and not sacrifice too much ride quality?

CarlssonLS400 might still have his JDM headlights for sale:

The price he's selling them for is what you would expect to pay (shipping costs included) to get them from Japan.

Hood shocks go for around $60 each at the dealer...or you could go with aftermarket ones for $16-20 each, the catch is it'll require some work to get them on. Check the following thread for more info:

If you're looking to only lower 1-1.5" without sacrificing the stock ride by much, then I would suggest you go with a set of Eibach or H&R springs and aftermarket shocks such as KYB or Tokico. The coilover route would give you better performance, but wouldn't be worth the extra dough ($500+) unless you plan to lower more than 1.5".

I meant for $500 more than what you would normally pay for a set of aftermarket springs/shocks....notice I said "wouldn't be worth the extra dough ($500+)".

Thanks for the help. I hate they have to charge $60 a shock at the dealer but I dont really wanna drill new holes. Thanks again though.

No, it didn't sound condescending at all. Looking back at my post, I can see that my wording could've been better. If I ever did find coilovers for that price, this forum would be the first to know.
