I would recommend the Ridetech products with their new coilovers as another option. I always recommend trying to not mix components. Their airide system is always an excellent choice as well. Bret beat on velocity pretty bad and it worked and was a capable handling car.
One other option is Chassisworks and thier Gstreet kit. I would strongly recommend not using the QA1 conversion coilovers as thier will eventually bend and leak.
I am a dealer for both Ridetech and Chassisworks and can save you quite bit of $ on their products.

Hey 66Caprice,
Thanks for considering us as one of your two great options. We've seen a few great Caprices out there. We have pictures of Mark Hampton's 66 Caprice on our G-Rides (http://www.hotchkis.net/slideshows/index.php?ID=29) page at Hotchkis.net (http://www.hotchkis.net/)

He has all of our Caprice goodies on his car and he is very happy with the way the car handles and rides. He's very proud of the car, it was crowned "Car of the Year" at the 2009 Street Legends car show.
