We're quickly heading away from a classified ad and into a tech discussion. You may want to start another thread.

Less "lean" will reqire spring and sway bar changes. Shocks can control the rate of body roll (so the car does not "flop" over), but not the total amount, that is the spring and sway bars domain (both contribute). So, you will want to engineer a package.

Are you planning to autocross, roadrace? As I remember, this is slated to be a track car?

I would suggest one of many similar setups that you'll probably get on this board.

I'm running Koni DA's with H&R Stage II springs (600+/200+ in lbs, not sure of the exact, but that is pretty close). A 35mm front sway bar (Suspension Techniques or, the Sam Strano 35mm hollow bar or, the Hotchkiss 36-ish hollow bar, pick one, Sam's is priced "right" and lighter in weight). A stock rear bar (test, possibly upgrade to a 21mm GM bar, or a 22mm Hollow Strano rear bar). Add LCA's and a PHB (preferably rod ended) to taste.

Everyone (many of us?) is slightly different, but still quite similar. The Ground control kit is a good option. Make sure this is legal for any class you may decide to run in. Nothing is worse than building a car that is illegal in any class you'd consider competing in.

As I said, we've headed into a tech/setup question. There are some sticky posts in the suspension forum that may get you started. If it's in the budget, you might want to buy the shocks, it is not a bad investment. I really like mine.
