Keep the RB springs and AGXs.
I've had that setup for 6 years now and it's a great compromise between ride comfort and handling.
If the ride is a bit harsh for you, check the damper settings. I keep them at full soft (1) for daily driving.

Thanks! I won't judge the current shock/spring setup until I sort out some other chassis related things.

It seems I can't edit my post after 30 minutes, this running list style I use on other forums might be useless. @_@ Hopefully this is just a restriction based on post count.

No, i believe that after 5 minutes your unable to edit your post
