Shock&Struts, thats the question

[Mike 88GT]

2fastLX,
Thanks for the responce. I have a few more questions for ya. I've been told that KYB's are a good factory replacment set up, I want alittle better than that. How are the KYB adjustables? Do you think they would work with what I want to do? They seem to be in my price range. And should I lower my car only 1 1/2"? Whats a good lowering number that will improve my handling? Would I still need caster/camber plates if I do?(I don't really know what those are, I'm learning as I go here and am far from being a mechanic) And if I replace the struts and shocks first, then later lower the car later, will I need another front end alignment? If I don't need the adjustables I could spend the money on better shocks/struts, do you have any name brands in mind? Or should I stay with adjustables?(any name brands you know are good but in resonabnle price?) Thanks ALOT for all your help, I need it.
