$125ea for the koni shocks?? jesus. any other suggestions on some good(inexpensive) shocks?
Yes, used springs are probably not holding up -- I did not realize they were used, are the shocks used too? 
Strano springs are the best choice, but you really need single adjustable Konis to compliment them -- Bilsteins will NOT last with these springs. As for others, phone Strano to ask.

Get SLP Bilsteins or SLP Bilstein/Eibach package if you want to lower, otherwise put stock springs back in. If you want to use ANY OTHER lowering springs, get Koni single adjustables, and Strano Lowering Springs -- Bilsteins will not last long.
Why don't you talk to Strano? You would have all your answers already...

I wouldn't worry abuot the shocks yet, you got some that will last a while, you got to get some new springs now.

He is going to have premature shock failure without bumpstops -- those need to be first...

Well I would hope he's not driving it as it is. After putting the new springs on he would at least be able to drive the thing. And those bumpstops are a little cheaper off gmpartsdirect.com.
