hahaha..well if you dont like the drop..go with espelirs or neuspeed springs..you'll enjoy the drop bro..i have neuspeeds right now..skunk2's will do the job as well..drop wise.
Hmmm you have the neuspeeds how is the ride?

I'm a little worried with the Skunk2's... reading on how people are fighting about which way it goes scares me. Also I'm scared of a saggy bum bum...

08+ CR springs
Front spring part#51401-S2A-S21
Wire diameter=0.518"
Spring outside diameter=4.278"
# of active coils=5.5
calculated rate=~346 lb/in

Rear spring part#52441-S2A-S21
Wire diameter=0.498"
Spring outside diameter=4.230"
# of active coils=5.5
calculated rate=~302 lb/in

Wire diameter is with the paint thickness.
The # of active coils is for the loose spring sitting on the bench, don't know the installed #, will update when I install them.

EDIT: Installed the front and the # of active coils when installed on the shock is closer to 4.5
EDIT2: Installed the rear, active coils also closer to 4.5 installed.
