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.

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

I would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have
