Shocks and springs combo Alright so after reading up in a variety of springs i am having a hard time with which to choose given the fact i get so many various opinions and feedback. I am in the process if getting Koni shocks and struts (sport edition) and now for springs i am having a hard time deciding because first i was told eibach pro series then was told hotchkiss but then i was told hotchkiss is too low and i should go strano or bmr. I am looking to change the springs when i change the my shocks and struts in spring, i want something that will coincide with the konis performance and handle wise yet not lower my car much and not have a rough ride where i feel everything on the street. Any suggestions advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Im pretty sure Hotckis actually lowers the car the least out of all fbody after market springs... 1 inch all around if I remember correctly. Not sure where you're getting your info from but I'd be weary of them. Hotchkis springs are not bad though, but they're not the best. Eibach is garbage, spring rates are not right at all for an fbody and they sag as they get older. Strano or BMR are the best imo and if I were you I'd go with one of those two.

I had Strano/Koni combo and it worked well (sig pic). Ride was definitely firm but not harsh when adjusted towards the softer settings. Handling and composure was excellent.
