Ride comfort? Whats that? I'm running 235/40/18 rubber with that too at 40 PSI. Its not too bad on the highway, but around town be prepared for pain. Cornering is great though, she sits flat as a tack.

Both springs and shocks were through my local auto parts store (Leeton Auto Gear), so you could possibly find them cheaper elsewhere.

My ride is fine and that's on 245/35/19's with 42psi rears and 40psi fronts.

You have IRS though, I have a live rear axle, which would make quite a difference I would think.

Compressing the springs weakens them, just chop it. Or theres a place in SA that does custom springs, there about $150 a set. Aurora or something like that.

Your talking about the placed that was called "industrial springs". Yes they can make a brand new spring to suit ANY height for you. I hevent been there for 10 years but I know they were cheaper than any brand named spring supplier. I knew that if you werent happy with the height of the spring you could take it back to be reset to a lower height for about $50 a pair.
