    if you dont want to lower it a bunch, i would just get some tokico shocks, they are stronger than stock, but you could run stiffer springs if you wanted to. or you could get coilovers and pick your own height adjustment. tokico shocks should be around 250-275 if i remember.

    as for bushings, i think energy suspension has some, check http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com for them, they have a pretty thourough energy catalog.

    then bigger sway bars and poly bushings all around, strut bars also. Should work good with stock shocks/springs.

    or you can lose some weight im joking dude. im pretty heavy myself but they make these spring "helpers" that are for coil springs. you can find them at any part store. ive never used them on struts but they might work.
