Default shock/strut/spring combo
What is the best or what is a good enough combo to lower your ride? I was going to get KYB shocks and struts and some BMR springs. Is that not a good combo? I was told the KYB's won't stand up?

For the value Koni STR.T and either BMR or Strano springs. That's just my opinion

+1 for the STR.Ts, or go bilstein, but there's no reason to use the KYBs.

I went from stock springs and KYB's to Strano's and STR.t's. Incredible improvement. BMR and Strano's will lower your vehicle, so keep that in mind. Bilstein's are great for stock spring height, Koni's for lowering springs.
