I suppose you are going to have them installed soon? Please let us know the before/after experience, especially at softest and stiffest settings. I am about to go for the JIC too but have not completely decided yet, maybe in a couple weeks. Thanks.

My shop (or the one I am planning to use for the install) said that alignment is required after replacing the coil (and lowering the car - even slightly) so I suppose you will have that done too? Thanks.

If you have an unlimited budget for tires, you can ignore their recommendation. If you want your tires to last and not die from inside edge wear prematurely, then alignment is essential.

With the stock suspension the front passenger side sits higher than the front driver side. Dunno about the back.

Nah, that was just the passenger side. Went and checked the drivers and it was:

Front: 26 5/8"

Rear: 25 13/16"

So the drivers side does appear to sit a little lower by about an 1/8" front and rear.
