Here's what my 98 looked like on DMS springs. It's a nice drop, about 1". Any lower than that and your y-pipe will be draggin on big speed bumps once you get LT's. I'd go with the DMS's again if I were thinking about lowering my car.

I went hotchkis and like it. 1". What are the stranos? 1.2? I wouldnt go more than that. And be sure to at very least swap your front shocks out. Youll pay even more in labor and time swappin em again when the stockers go bad. The rears are easy enough to swap anytime.
