I had Detroit Eaton make me a set for mine that are 1 and 1/2" higher than factory. The springs and complete bushing set was less than 400 bucks. I went the rearch route first, but it changed the ride a lot. Plus springs have a "memory" and they will settle back down. All this info is on the Eaton site. The new springs and new shocks make the car ride nice.

Another plus was the springs are Made In The USA.

I would install the 'H' blocks. I had them on my first Nova, they will give you the requisite lift without having to put the maximum psi in the air shocks = a nicer ride!
