Thanks for the info, as of now i have stock springs. Just the hotchkis sways and rims or after market. I'd be willing the change springs, shocks, tires to whatever is needed for a good smooth ride. Like i was saying smooth as a caddy and handle like a porche as much as possible. I just don't know what route to go....Thanks for your time.

I can certainly understand that! I can't even pull in/out my own driveway without scraping the air dam thingy, let alone most parking lots around town.

RS*R Ti2000 lowering springs

The lowering spring has been around for ages. But the materials, treatments and technology to which each spring is made from has now taken a new turn. With cutting edge technology, the Ti2000 springs are composed of titanium, providing weight reductions of 25% compared to the traditional lowering spring. Along with weight reductions, the Ti2000 springs have improved resistance to corrosion, spring strength, and responsiveness.
I might of used the word "by a lot" too loosely, but 25% is a lot to me. Aftermarket springs usually weight more than stock, so this is something to keep in mind. I plan on getting them when they are readily avail.
