      2nd Gen Firebird Spring Recommendation

      OK, I have a 1978 TA, Getting ready to put the suspension together, I have used the new GW uppers with del-a-lum bushings, I rebuilt the lowers with del-a-lum bushings, boxed them in so they should be strong enough. I have used the rear global west leafs lowered 1.5" with del-a-lum bushings. My question is, I need to pick shocks and front springs. Currently I have cut 1.5 off my front springs, I put an LS1 in the car, and they needed to be cut, should I get a set of shocks and use my springs, or should I get a set of coilovers that bolt into the front stock locations. Furthermore, what rear shocks should I get. Should I get 4 that match one another, or can I go with coilovers in the front and stand alone shocks in the back. Furthermore, I am using the LS1 rear brake conversion, so I need to relocate the rear shocks at the same time, anything really big involved with this?



      Thanks
      John
