To answer the original ?:
I'm not sure what springs I've got...I think stock, but they could be the FRPP B or C springs. The front seems pretty harsh on speedbumps, even going slow, so I wonder sometimes if they're the specific rate set (C?). I've also got Monroe SensaTrac shocks/struts and will have my UPR U/L control arms installed by next week.

EDIT: MM CC plates, too.

I want the H&R SuperSports (to go w/ the poly isolators I already bought) and Tokico HP's.....
