We also use the factory springs and set-up a slightly racked look. QA1 also recommend the factory rear springs to be used in conjunction with there front set-up.

stock springs, either the V-8 or 6 cyl springs. I ran Stano rears and was terrible with these shocks. I like QA1s. But their valving isnt for lowering springs.

What is the rear spring hose mod?
The "hose mod" is when people remove the insulated upper mounts on the rear springs and replace it with a piece of split rubber hose covering the top spring coils. By doing it this they are lowering the car approximately 3/4" without hurting ride quality.
As other people have mentioned we do also offer our rear lowering springs separate from our full set for purchase. Our springs offer a 1.0" rear and still maintain excellent ride qualities. The spring set part # is SP003 and retails for $125.95. Here is a link to the page where they can be found
