After a few months of deciding, i've decided to take "Nine Ball's" advice and get the Hotchkis springs. The car rides and handle's really well.
Here are a few pics, right after I got back from "HPE"---------------------->
After a full night of it sitting, I've noticed the springs settled a little bit and it lowered a "tiny" bit more.
I also got the fully adjustable pan-hard bar from "Bad Z components"----------->.

I am actually using the same stock shocks.Upon researching and talking to other people, sticking with the stock shocks is fine for now. I WILL in the future get some better shocks. There are a few people that have gotten these springs and have stuck with their stock shocks for over a year now; without any issues.

Zane)------> They are suppose to drop 1" all around. But to me it seems more after the spring settled over night. I can snug fit two of my fingers from the top of the tire to the fender well.
