If you have any or know a good brand or choice let me know. Looking for a nice stance. Not too low.

I installed some BMR springs recently and they are perfect. I was thinking just like you wanting a nice drop and not a slammed stance

Yes I noticed a nice performance improvement with less spinning. I installed shocks as well but I'm thinking it was mostly from the lowering of the car.

Been doing my springs for almost 10 years now. Everyone likes how they drive, and most like how they look.

The thing is you were asking about a setup. And recommending a spring isn't a setup. Springs have to work well for their intended purpose (besides lowering) and an appropriate damper, setup up correctly if it's adjustable is part of that deal. I'm the world's worst sales person in terms of just pushing parts. I want you to have what works best for *your* needs. If that interests you, call me when you're ready (please understand I'm going racing for 10 days starting tomorrow 8/28) and we can talk about what you want, what you have, and what parts will get you where you want to be.

If you just want parts, anyone can do that (except my springs we pretty much sell them here only). Think of it like building an engine. Anyone can buy (or sell you) heads and a cam. But getting the combination right is what you get around here.

So what set up should I get then? I want it low but not slammed.

Yeah, I can't tell you that here. This is like calling the doctor and saying "I want to feel better, give me pills". Some detail would help if you want the car to work. If you just want to lower it and have it look a certain way and honestly don't care how it works, then just buy springs. If you want more, then like anything it takes a bit of discussion and consultation to work it out.

I don't know what low but not slammed means to you, that's an example. Cost effective, I sell a lot of SLP Bilstein shocks with my springs which are $620 for the setup, that's an option.

BMR > Strano any day of the week and twice on Sundays, from my experience. As far as struts/shocks I would go with Koni, if they are in your budget, if not, I would go with Bilstein.
