Well, after thinking about it for a while, I'm gonna go with option #3, Tokico Illumina's & Tein H-tech springs. Just for reference, the H-tech's drop is F-1.2" & R-1.5". Stock spring rates F-170, R-125, H-tech rates F-173, R-168. I think these will give a close to stock ride quality, with the drop I want. I probably could stay with the stock shocks, but why, I'm gonna have it all apart anyway.
