      There IS a Sticky Thread at the top of the Suspension and Brakes Column... It is called "W-Body Suspension Upgrades"... The 8th post, at least, has links to the parts you'd need. Between here and W-Body.com a search should turn up a LOT of info on building Coil-Overs. There used to be some companies that made them. I got mine from FFP,,, they are no longer in business.. Another is Held Motorsports (I believe).... No idea if they're still around tho.... As said there are countless people that have done this... SEARCH!!!
      Hope this helps,,,,

      As another thought, get in touch with d.o.h.c. (his screen name here)... His company is Overkill Performance I believe.... Here's a link http://www.overkillengineeringmotorsports.com/
      He makes lots of stuff for our cars, including Coil-overs and will do custom jobs....

        Buy those sleeves and spring seats(or ones like them) mentioned above in the 8th post of that thread. You can get generic coilover springs in any spring rate you want off of places like Summit Racing. Lastly though, that post mentioned above says to just use the stock upper mount. Don't do that. It'll be noisy as hell and the spring won't want to stay on it. I know that because I now own that very car he was posting about in 2007. You can call West Shore Fabricators (formerly Held Motorsports), and they will sell you just the upper mount and bushing from their coilover kit. That's what I did. They are also made my forum member 1loudcutty. You may have better luck reaching him on w-body.com where he goes by BXX. He has a for sale thread right now. He has them listed for $250/pair. I paid less than a hundred for mine from Westshore so you might call them first.
