I've got an old set of Koni reds and 140# springs for the rear, but since the front will be still on 4x4 status, what can I cheaply do to ditch the stock shocks and drop it down a bit?

Anyone have some decent aftermarket shocks to part with?

This is just a temporary set up until I go for the full suspension modification.

maybe I misunderstood your Q, but you can lower the front by just turning the torsionbar adjusters

#17 in the diagram - do you have a front sway bar?
put some KYB's in the front for now, they're stiff and cheep.

With stock boges in the front and koni + 140s in the rear the car is going to oversteer,
I think... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) - someone else confime this maybe...
