Jonathon, 

Thanks for the feed back, can you tell me what size shims? You mentioned HDS up-front, what about the rear?

Regards

New shims for the tops of the springs and a fresh set of Bilstein HD's up front otherwise the H&R springs overwhelm the stock/worn out dampers.

Also, make SURE the rest of your suspension componentry is in tip top shape. No point in putting springs in if the control arms/guide rod/tie rods, etc, etc, etc  are not in Good condition.
