Ok all the front end bushings are rotten and need to be replaced so I am thinking of going poly with them. As long as I am in there I am putting new shocks and coils. My questions are these:

Are the 550lbs coils too stiff for a fun drive around vehicle? I probably won't race, but would still like a tight suspension.

I am looking at Koni shocks how would they work with the 550lbs coils?

Should I save up my money instead and by the monospring conversion?

monospring

cant give you any hints to your first questions but I bought the performance suspension package from VBP and I love it, All my bushings were destroyed from age and weather in AZ. This PKG replaced them with poly and it seems alot better. Belstien shocks came with it also. Was an easy swap since balljoints come compressed, three days taking my time, most of which was taking off the old stuff.
