Considering the suspension has around 150k miles.... I would have to say that it is still comfortable and not bouncy at all...

I cut 2.25 coils in the front and 1.5 coils in the rear... I used my trusty Harbor Freight 4" Die Grinder to cut the springs...

Thanks for the positive comments guys... I aquired a used set of Tein H-Tech Springs from a fellow local CL member... I know for sure its gonna raise up the ride height, but at least it would be a little bit smoother for my baby to ride in...
