You forgot that it must cost less than $200 because anything more for shocks and springs is just stupid.
Excuse me while I get back to installing my GMMG cat back and polishing my 19" Fikse wheels....

Don't listen to these dumbasses...all you need is the right set of flat washers. 
If that's too simple, follow this recipe:
1. Monroe sensatrac or QA1 shocks
2. Eibach springs, cut down two coils
3. SFC's and STB
4. LCA relo brackets
5. Solid motor and tranny mounts
6. Adjust tires - 20psi for drag, 45psi for roadracing
Should be the RIDE OF YOUR LIFE!

Haha... touche... makes a good point that could use some sinking in with some people

I don't know.. I'd get 2+ inches, but I'm a little worried about the caddy ride quality. I doubt those will help. Welded relos would be good because you can quickly swap between the upper and lower holes. That would actually work well. I'd have to get an adjustable coilover setup and swap springs realistically. Not sure how this would work with a wheelie mobile though...
(To really poke fun properly, I'd have misspell or misuse at least 3 words per sentence. I can play satire but I just couldn't make myself type ignorantly)
