87 4kq needs new suspension

["Mark L. Chang" <mchang@ece.nwu.edu>]

Okay -- the q (87 4kcsq) needs to be re-suspended... Scott J tells me I've
got all original everything.  Needless to say, she's a wallowing and
pitching everywhere.

I've priced out lots of parts, now I want an idea of what a good setup is.
The pricing hierarchy seems as such, from cheapest to most expensive:

H&R + Boge Turbo Gas
H&R + Bilstein HD
H&R + Koni Sport
Coilover + Koni Sport/Bilstein, etc...

I would like something _tight_ and responsive, but with the streets as
they are in the greater Chicagoland area, well, the bone-jarring is just
not going to work.

Digging through the archives, it seems like there are conflicting reports
on the Koni Yellows vs. the Boge TG.  Any current observations?  I'm
tempted to go with the Boge for the price break ($200 vs. $400+), unless
someone can convince me otherwise.

Also, how much can I expect to pay for the installation of these
components, including bushings and all those little bits?  (Guesses he
should talk to mechanic...but seeks list advice beforehand...:>)

Finally, I know there are several coil-over setups out there.  The 2Bennet
($450), the Todd Candey/Vortrag Motorsports, and possibly some others...
any suggestions as to how these perform?

Following the suspension re-do -- wheels and tires.  But, I'll save that
thread for another time.

Finally -- can anyone tell me where to get some springs?
www.autobahint.com sold out of the H&R for $179.95, and I can't find
either the Eibach or H&R anywhere, or if I can, they are $279+...

Thanks,
Mark
87 4kcsq -- time to pay the GODS again...
