I think you're confused. What 2003 SSEi used is a drop spring that was originally designed for the DTS. Otherwise the DTS uses the same components that the Bonneville uses. So a stock DTS swap isn't any sort of upgrade. Probably a downgrade. And the springs he has are very hard to find anymore.

Custom drop springs are around $500 and basically your only option.

Being able to lower a car for under 500 dollars is actually really good.
