To answer Adam above, the ride quality is fine though a little soft (due likely to changing only the springs and using the original shocks).

Come on Dan! Just bought the springs from you, want me to break out the $$$ for coil-overs already!! I am saving up for the first power mods!!

Seriously, I think I will need to get the correct rear shocks at least for the shorter springs. If I get on too bumpy a stretch of road or especially dips I am rubbing the rears. I even had the fender lips rolled (though only a tad, the first 1/8" or so back to where you reach the weld spots). I think some stiffer shocks are really what is needed.. Advice on that would be appreciated..

nice transformation! The slate grey is a cool color and the black wheels work well.

Slate grey is darker than seal grey. Slate is less common, at least in the US.
