    About another 1/2" on the threads and it should not change the ride quality much at all. At ride height right now, your pretty much at a 50/50 up vs. down travel. SO you have some room.

    Do the 1/2", set it down, drive it around the block, and maybe do a tad more if you want. But Im thinkin it will be spot on with the 1/2"

    Any time you preload a coil, it get's stiffer. That being said, you can pre-load it a good amount and it's not like the ride goes to hell. Just a bit stiffer, which some people like cause you get a more responsive feel.
