hello i am in the process of doing my suspension in the AE86, which im using for drift, but driving it daily.

i am looking at getting a ground control/paradise racing coil over sleve kit. i have a few questions about these sleve kits.
1)there are 2 ways to install them 1)just slide them down so they rest where the spring did or 2)cut off the spring support and weld it there. AM I RIGHT?

now what i need to know are short stroke shocks a good investment? if i decide to go this route, what other modifications will be needed to be done to the strut/coil over kit?
i am thinking about this bcause i would like the car low and the normal coilover kit only allows 2" of adjustment.

i was thinking about using 400 and 300 lb/in rates (works out to be about 7.1kg/mm front and 5.35kg/mm rear. is this a good setup (simon?)? what shocks would be adequate for these rates? would like them to be adjustable? prices and places to call?

any other suggestions?
