Shox.com, Eibach Sportslines?(not sure if i'm right because i don't know the drop for 89 w/ Eibach)
i just got mine in, and i'm not sure about the handling yet...i know at lower speeds(like 50)...turns are a LOT smoother, but the high speed turning i haven't been able to notice yet.(keep in mind it's rainy here now)

Found some dry roads tonight, and hit them
you can definately tell a difference...
it is AWESOME
I have a huge uphill tight-"S" road near my house, and i use to have to hit it at like 20...and even then i'd get lean
now i get that same amount of lean(just more force(feel the g's :-P)) going 30...it's great
