I recently made my own. I purchased KYB shocks and struts from RockAuto for an effective cost of $25 per corner. Found Ford Mustang Cobra 12" 325LBS coils on OfferUp for $30 and pick up a 1990 Honda Civic Coilover Kit for another $20 on OfferUp (for the sleeves). New coilovers for under $150.
Instructions can be found on the forum. Maybe you want to go this route.

I believe that Fieroguru may have these items for your specific car.

Thanks Nelson!
Yes, I offer several levels of coilover kits from the basic hardware for the DIY to fully assembled kits ready to bolt in. They are made to the specific application and customer preference for colors and spring rates. They all come with new strut hats, stainless steel studs, washers, nuts and new bump stops as well.
Unfortunately with Koni discontinuing the Fiero rear struts (single adjustable in rebound), there are no off-the-shelf adjustable performance struts for the Fiero. Most Fiero coilovers are now based on KYB struts.
