How well would these springs be with a set of 1LE springs in the rear and bilsteins all around? I need the 3/4 inch drop in the front b/c im runnin a 18/19 combo and the front looks crazy with more fender gap than the rear!

i'm not crazy about the slp front springs. they don't lower the front quite enough IMO. if you look at pics of that setup installed the front sits higher than the back which bothers me (and is why i sold the front springs and bought lower ones). also i don't know what your current setup is but if you're going with lower stiffer front springs, i would match it with a slightly stiffer rear spring as well.

a lot better than stock in terms of handling, but again i don't think they're quite low enough
