Also a stiff shock like KYB with a stiff spring is not a winning combo. I ran KYBs too. Great for a soft stock spring though.
I now run the Hotchkis springs in the back with their new Foxshocks. I like the ride in the back now. I don't like the riide in the front. Still working on that. The leaf spring bushing are coned shaped and can articulate correctly now.
What ever you do I would consider a spring/shock combo. Suspension parts are not cheap and ride quality is subjective.
DSE, Hotchkis, RideTech are all good names.

I don't understand how or why your shackles wouldn't allow your rear end to seat properly, or allow the bushing to not work, what did you find for the cause? I installed new urethane bushings when I redid everything so I know they're good. The shakle bolts are shoulder-bolts and only tighten to a certain torque. I will check out the shakles, I know when I first installed everything I didn't tighten the shakles down until the car was sitting on it's own weight.
