Yeah, with an f-bod you have two choices...

1. drop it 1-2 inches to look good
2. raise it 1-2 inches to go off roading

I scratch on DEEP dips and tall speed bumps, thats about it. I dont scratch on any bumps with only me in the car as I turn side ways over speed bumps.

A set of hotchkis springs(1" lowering) would/will work good with the SLP Bilsteins. And yes, I know the valving isn't perfectly suited for higher spring rates, but regardless they will work good; not perfect but good!

Or you can put an Edelbrock IAS shock/spring combo up front, great and handling, but they're $400 for the pr., then in the back you could do the hose mod, get a set of SPL level 2 rear springs, or BMR springs.
