Default Honest opinions on Hotchkis springs with Tokico Shocks

So I have the Tokico D-Spec shocks on order and have lined up a set of Hotchkis springs. I currently have B&G springs which are progresive springs and drop the car a little over 1.4" front and rear. I am looking to improve my handling but more importantly my ride quality as my B&Gs are ok but with the stock shocks I'm feeling the bump stops more often then I want to. I spoke with Tokico who recommends no more then a 1.2" drop on their shocks. I have heard some good things about using the Hotchkis springs with this shock but wanted to get some feedback from someone who is actually using this combination. I know just switching to a linear spring which will also raise the car a bit is going to help but how is the handling aspect with Hotchkis/Tokicos? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I also considered getting some Swift springs but for $300 they are just a hair to pricey for me right now.
