Daily Driver Susp. Rebuild

I have an 89 RS TBI with 124K miles. I am making plans for a nice daily driver susp. If I can upgrade with no mods than that is what I want.
Wheels-91-92 Z-28
Tires-245-45(or 50)-16
Shocks/Struts-KYB
Rebuild Kit-Energy Suspension
Springs-Eibach or Moog
F/R Swaybars-PST

This is the list of susp. upgrades I am planning. Any editing is welcome, but keep in mind that this is a daily driver with no plans to go to a track.

FYI-I'm new to the board and F-Body mechanicals, because I've been wrenching on a 70 Cutlass until I sold it in Oct.

Budget is tight also. Isn't every ones Thanks for any help.

for a daily driver, you got the right idea.

Maybe get the sway bars used to save some money. Check out one of the supporters to this board up top for what you need.

That'll be good. If you want good handling, but a little less bone jarring (well, I think Eibachs are bone-jarring anyway) than what you listed, you can just get some WS6 springs, or even some from an F41.
