OME Coils with Bilstein HD's
I have read all of the 96-02 Suspension FAQ and have read many others and i think i have decided what to do but i want to know what the problems would be if i got OME 881's in the front and OME 891's in the rear with Bilstein HD's with a part number ending in BE5-2450-H0? Also, i was thinking of getting the kit from Toytec with both those coils or with my status would the toytec 3" lift kit with the 890's and front spacers be better? I dont really want to spend over $450. 
Thanks

I'd be very hesitant to run anything but OME shocks with OME springs. The OME springs are unusually stiff (but flex well) and the shocks are unusually soft- together this they ride great, but use a shock other than an OME and you risk having a really crappy ride. OME valves their shocks very specifically for the spring.
I haven't any experience with Bilsteins, but I've heard they're fairly stiff as far as valving goes. if that was the case, then you would have spent a lot of money to get a crappy ride.

If they're so "stiff", what's their spring rate ?
