suspension advice/oppinions pls help 95 convertible w/ 19x8.5 & 19x9.5
tokikos stock replacements =years ago, garbage,garbage,&garbage
sportlines didnt help, but despite what evry1 else on this site says, i didnt mind the ruff ride and just couldnt get enough of the drop
stroker is going in now, will be replacing shorties w/ pacesetter long tubes
chassis mt. tq. arm, cut-out, so im preparing for changes
i have a set of H&R springs all the way around to replace sportlines
i also have a pair of bilsteins shocks for the rear (slightly used but 4 free cant complain)
what shock to go with in the front?

Might as well give those Bilsteins onto someone else as they're probably stock Bilsteins off an SLP car, right? They're no good for lowering springs. With high rate drop springs and heavy wheels, you're going to need some shocks with some serious rebound control, and shocks designed to work with limited suspension travel.
Pretty much the same answer I have to everyone asking about lowering springs and/or heavy wheels. You're going to need at least revalved Bilstein shocks from Strano, or a Koni package (being the better option if you want adjustability for future changes).
