Pjinca has good points, but I think exaggerating the price a bit. A V8 with that age and miles combo would need a number of gaskets and seals, so if it hasn't been done it is overdue.

American muscle cars are cheap to acquire and cheap to mod. They usually have large displacement engines for a start, and it is relatively easy to get big power out of them.

You could consider going to the set-up I have, H&R sport springs with Koni shocks.
Actually I plan on upgrading to KW V2s, so then I will pass along to someone looking for a firmer ride and a drop.

I would look at ST or KW V1s. You really need to get the right set and not just worry about ride height. Most sets are height adjustable anyway.
