I'm going to order some koni's and strano sway bars this week and i'm pretty excited to see the difference. I was going to do strano springs (still might) but i'm also curious to see how this setup works with the H&R springs. Especially since I never see anyone run them.

H&R is a brand I also sell (just not on the website, I can't keep up with everything). They are ok, I think a little overly stiff in the rear as they are about 25% stiffer in working rate than my rears are... and if I felt that was the best move I'd have done that instead of what I did.
Overall, you can do a lot worse... I also think there are other options to look at (again, I do sell other springs as mine aren't always in stock, and we still want the best setup for a given need).

My $.02 If you're daily driving your car, and if the roads in your city are choppy, then
I would suggest keeping your stock springs and getting a set of Koni SA
shocks. The front shocks have a lower perch which allows you to drop the
front end about 3/4" of an inch. Then do the hose mod on the rear to even
it out.
Just something to consider

i have true duals and little clearance. Hotchkis offers the least amount of drop, so ur really in my boat to. I got my hotchkis shipped to me for $235 if I remember correctly.
for what they are and I paid, no complaints. I also put in bilsteins at same time. I get noises but have talked to other F body people with similar parts/set ups. Noises/squeaks are a part of the game. not much. LIke one more you'll have a headache, the next you be fine.
good luck bud!!
