I'm not going to hijack this man's thread. But a spring thread in the appearance section could only mean 1 thing, right? That he's interested in appearance above suspension. Personally I have Konis w/ Hotchkis springs. I love the way my car looks & rides, but yeah Konis are pricey.
looks like it...lol

STRANO SPINGS AND SHOCK COMBO HERE (1.2 drop) Feels very comfortable too! Added the BMR undershock 1/2''spacers to bring the front up a tad to match the rear.

But for the OP, I think something along the line of the Vogtlant or Hotchkis springs is where it's at, with SLP/Bilstein or KYB GR2 shocks. Adjustability doesn't = the best shocks if you have to have them dialed up a ton and super stiff just to properly dampen the higher spring rates you have.

I'd wager my cut spring + Bilsteins + UMM has a better stance AND a better ride than your BMR springs and AGX shocks, with the only area your setup beating mine in being handling when really pushed hard.

yeh yeh, enough with all the pety crap. ^lets not forget that eibach's were "DESIGNED to be shorter". with that being said, i'll say that just beacuse something is designed for a specific purpose, it does not mean that it actually accomplishes that purpose, or that it is the best....

Keep in mind I've had BMR springs on better shocks than the AGX offerings (and also on worse for a short while), so I know near exactly how your car rides, because mine rode the same way for about 10,000 miles before I pulled the setup. I also know how my SS rides with cut stock springs and a suspension setup designed around them, and I know my cut stockers ride better and look better than the BMR setup I had ever did IMO (although the same things I did to make my cut stocker setup ride really nice could be applied to a BMR setup and it would ride a lot nicer also, but comparing straight setup to straight setup the only area your current setup would beat mine in would be handling IMO unless you just prefer a stiffer ride, which I don't, or if you prefer a little more wheel gap, which I don't, but then again all of that is personal opinion).
