Good to hear your out there tearing it up with that LS. I am jealous at the same time.
I just installed some Ridetech coilover shocks with QA1 springs. I am pretty happy with the ride so far (about 50 miles) but they were a pain in the
ass to install, and not exactly cheap, $300 each corner probably about right maybe a little more but you do get adjustable ride height.

How are the rears mounted, the stock area of the upper shock mount was not designed to support the weight of the car, hopefully you have re-inforced it.

I decided to just go ahead and pull the trigger on KYB gas a just shocks. all 4.
S 10 in front, and nova rear.
Had to elongate the front lower mounts a little, but other than that, they went right in. Rears bolted right in.
Took car out yesterday. Huge improvement. Really tightened up the feel. Its just a tad rougher, but hell. Its a little car, not a caddy.
Now I have to fix the horrendous wheel hop problem. It bounces the tires like crazy.
I adjusted the pinion angle down with the adjustable arms, but didn't seem to help.
I think I need to raise mount point at rear end mount.

I thought the trick was to raise bracket mount on housing.
I hate the thought of cutting and welding on the floor of car at this point. Its all finished inside.
