Default need help deciding springs for my Konis

i got a new set of konis, right now i got a prokit on crappy shocks

i have randomly aquired a few different sets of springs and have come up with a couple ideas


for the front
i have the lt1 prokit
and ls1 prokit
and stock lt1 spings cut 1 coil on lower perch

of those 3 which would ride/handle the best, which would be the lowest
and what setting do i put the konis at?

on the back
lt1 prokit
stock lt1 springs, most likely cut 1.5 coils with isolator (this should keep a lil rake while being lowered)
or stock lt1 springs cut .5 to 1 coil and heater hose mod

of those 2 which would ride and handle the best, which would be lowest, and where should the rear konis be set



thanks for the help, i have read a TON and i know every thread says run stranos, and i would, but i think the rates are gonna be a lil bit higher than what id want to run. the car wont really be raced

Assuming isn't a good idea. My springs are in fact softer than the LT1 Pro-kits. And my springs are, by most accounts, quite comfortable on the street.

He said his are NIB, never been installed. Figured I'd save some coin and get his set.

Although if you want to price match the springs and bundle in some shocks...I would definitely be interested, PM me.

The best price ever doesn't help if you can't ever get a hold of them. What shocks?
