Don’t run the OEM dampers with any lowering springs, Progressive rate springs don’t have a definitive spring rate because as their compressed their rate will increase, although they will be more comfortable than a linear rate spring, which rate will always stay constant.

Wait until Dampers come out.

Ditto that. I've been there done that. Don't make the same mistake.

I'm suprised no one mentioned HFP suspension kit. Not much of a drop, but full setup plus warranty ftw!
