Looks very good! Well be adding springs to my ride very soon! How is yours riding with stock shocks? I may have to go this route as well for a bit.

Yo Twilitte, your answers are in NyceTry first post!

He used Road Magnet Springs. As for how much it dropped....since he had Eibach Prokit springs on there prior and wanted a lower drop....so the Road Magent springs probably dropped (my guess) around 2" since a set of Eibach drops around 1".
