LOL! Hey it would have been gold Allegerritas but Bart beat me to them! Well that, and I didn't feel like waiting 3 months for them to arrive from Italy!

1600 is the coilovers and the 380 is just the springs

After researching all the springs out there, the choice was definately Pedders, for a number of reasons.
After installing a OTTPerformance "Hardcore" rear bar[ one inch and a quarter], the ride was'nt that much stiffer, only cornered like a "Bat out of hell".
Over The Top Performance? Can you send a link?

I have the $380 springs only. You re-use the stock struts and rear shocks.

Yessir! OH! You'll also want to get a set of steering rack spacers from either TTR or PRS (doesn't matter who as they're both identical). This will keep your axles aligned once you go low.
