Best riding lowering springs

Hi everyone new to the Site sold my 1999 SS 4th generation and just bought a 1991 RS convertible 3rd generation.

Anyway it looks way too high, want to lower it around 1.5 and am wondering what lowering springs are going to give it the least harsh ride? I know it will get a little firmer but I don't want it to ride like a brick and rattle everything. Any help is appreciated!

Welcome to the forum.

I believe these are 600lb fronts and 100-140lb progressive rears.

Koni or Bilstein Shocks & Struts combined with the above springs should ride decent.

These wont be best for handling but they will ride decent as long as you have a nice shock absorber to back them up.

As far as fixing interior squeaks and rattles:

Hope this helps...
