Thanks, still might just get springs

Thanks so much for all the information and assistance. That's what makes this site (and Series 1 folks in general) the best.

At this point, it seems like a lot more extensive than I was originally hoping for. I'm probably not going to go all the way to new shocks, bars, etc. But I'm guessing that if guys like H&R have springs that work with the stock shocks, bars, etc, then the stock 135 springs should be similar. A little stiffer, a bit shorter, sounds like a mild upgrade like the H&R OE Sport Spring.

Now I just have to find a local shop that can do a spring install for a reasonable cost. So far, the dealer has quoted me $1,000 installation, while one local shop wanted $700+. Is this something I could have the local Goodyear or Firestone shop do, then have my dealer just do the alignment?
