Or as another option for springs...

I looked on edelbrock'* website but could not find any information on load ratings etc. All it says is that they are stiffer and do a 1.2/1.0" drop front/back

That would be signs of FE2. The ELC and STB wouldn't make sense paired with FE1 on the rest of the car. Can you do us a favor and take a picture of your RPO tag please? JUST to make sure.

Was just reading an old test of the 88 LSS, and one of the things Car and Driver noted was that it had the best handling AND ride of the big GM'*, with noticeably less impact harshness than the Bonneville. While the tire size was the same, I wonder what Olds did differently....

Bigerik,
The Bonneville was meant to be more of a Performance oriented sedan where the Olds was more along the lines of luxury...
The FE1 with Rear air struts makes for a nice ride.... But for me its just not enough... I need stiffer...
I'd say if you get the ELC to function, and replace the rear struts with the ones you have listed you may like the ride... If not the stiffer springs may do you some good...
