Take your pick...you want your ride height to be approximately in the middle of the shock range.
Had those picked out but there non-coilover, so how or what holds the spring? I apologize early if this is a stupid question.......

Looks like it! Give it a shot! Or maybe you can call qa1 and order them special with stud tops straight from them.

I'll take a picture of an adapter that may work really well tomorrow at work.

These are pics of the adapter used to mount a Pro Comp MX-6 coilover. This particular one is for a Toyota. But the same piece is available for the Chevy.

So this adapter will allow you to use a eyelet to eyelet style coilover. You just have to make a T-bar fit the lower control arm.
