YYZV1 looks good with 250lbs in the rear..

the HHRSS springs will lower it more than 1/2" good choice on a budget, should be able to find some for 100.00 or so..

I'm too scared to go with aftermarket springs after hearing user's stories about coil rub and clanking. So I'd much rather spend half the money, for a lesser drop, with no issues.

Do the HHRSS springs just drop an LT 1/2'' all four corners, or just the front? Think maybe HHRSS up front, and SSSC for the rear maybe my ticket, although the spring rates differ.

I would say it's closer to 1" drop with the HHRSS springs. Here's a shot with the fe5 springs on both cars, panel had fe3 shocks, so it sat about 1/2" lower than the SS......
