thank mucho...i originally got springs bec it was cheap, it was fine on stocks but when i got rims I wanted to go lower, which wasn't able to do with spring unless i cut them which I did and still wasn't happy so I pulled the trigger and got some BC coils 12/10 spring rate...If i could do it again I prob wouldv'e done it the same way because i did all my labor so it didn't cost me nothing, but I recommend that if you want more than a 1.8inch drop or looking for the stance look then go straight to coilovers...

Great choice on wheels. I actually like the drop as it is. You'll maintain great handling and the luxury ride.

So I went ahead and swapped out the rear tires for 275/30/19s. I do like them better than the 275/35s. Not as beefy.
