It is all up to you! I personally only like to do things once. I would like to add that you will notice difference when using drop springs on stock vs. a quality damper. Also, many of the track gurus will say anything lower than 1.5" on this chassis is no good for handling. I can attest to that; HFP handled worlds better than 2" with the coilovers I had. Even when I raised it up the coilover I was using sucked, and that's a whole other story. Haha. The KONI/ Swift set-up I have now has handling characteristics on par and/ or better than HFP for my driving style. It just came at a higher price.
