Sister's T/A way too low... options?
I think she's got BTS. Bilstein shocks and dark blue springs. I haven't gotten a chance to look at it closer. I think she's got 2-2.5" from top of tire to top of wheel well. She scrapes EVERYWHERE and I've ridden with her - she goes very slow over bumps.
I'm thinking of putting stock springs in there.... What do you guys think? She does like it lowered (but not the scraping) so I am also considering Strano springs, but there's no point unless it's going to scrape MUCH less. My car (stock springs) rarely scrapes unless I go too fast over a big bump (and most speed bumps don't present a problem, even fast). If I scrape, it's often just my air dam. Her bumper is all scratched to hell, though.
Are there any springs that drop less than an inch from stock? Like maybe .75" drop or something?
Edit: Oh, and it's a 2000 WS6, by the way

You have 3 options. Hotchkis springs lower about an inch. You can also get Koni Single adjustable shocks and run them with stock springs (lower perch in front and heater hose mod in the back) that will lower the car about 3/4" and be a nice street setup or do the ground control set up but you will need good shocks to run with it. koni's would be preffered but KYB or bilstein will work but not optimally. BTW you can get the GC setup cheaper from the ws6store(dot)com.

Thanks for the interest in our product, the springs will lower your car 1"-1.25". The part number for the springs is SP001 $229.95 for all four springs. Here is a picture of a TA with our springs installed.http://www.bmrfabrication.com/cc/wayne.jpg

I also wouldn't recommend it though since it seems like a pain in the ***. Plus I heard you can't put the axle in full droop without the springs becoming unseated. There's plenty of good springs available that can support a wide range of ride heights.
