Coil over street kit

Does anyone make a good coil over suspension system for the street and about how much does it go for? Tubular A-arms and their price? Also what are some go suggestions for shocks & struts for a daily driven 90 Iroc when using coil overs?
Thanks all input.
Thanks
BT

i'd like to know as well.

i was told the pa unit worked very well, we just installed one here at the shop a little while back with the works and it looks awsome....damn winter weather for not being able to really road test her though.

fit and finish though i was very happy with it, plus i can use my existing bilstein struts so i can only benefit from the setup. less weight and adjustable ride height. i like....cost i don't.

let me know if you find any more info out.

unless you go with everything down to the rack & pinion steering as well you aren't going to notice it.

you loose more weight removing the air conditioning and less worries about road troubles.

searching all over the internet i've found quite a few stories from people using these on various cars that have had some major incidents through no fault of their own over time.

i think it looks great and is very useful....i just don't know about it.

I am not sure about the front, but you can put coil overs on the back easy.

I got coil over with half inch lift studs on the back of mine. Any auto store sells coil over springs for shocks. I like them allot, the added pre load is nice. Also my car rides nice and level, even full of people.

In the front if you look, there is enough room to put a shock in the stock a-arm. and maybe even a coil over shock.

take a look down there, it could be done in a few hrs.
