Default what do you guys recommend?

ok so i have been wanting to lower my car for a while now and i'm gonna be purchasing some koni's sometime while they're still on sale so i figured i would look into some lowering springs.

i don't want to go any lower than 1" because i drive the car most days to school. i have been looking at the strano springs the last few days and love their stance but i was also wondering about bmr's lowering springs. bmr says their springs lower 1" and i was wondering if really does lower it right at 1" or if the springs sag after a while?

i have the stock exhaust manifolds and y-pipe, the main thing that would scrape if anything would be the black plastic thing in the front but i hit it sometimes anyways and it seems to be just fine. is there any other spots that would scrape when i lowered the car?

here's how the car sits right now

I would recommend going with some strano springs, you never end up more then 1.2 inches lowered. If you do not have headers or anything like that, your in the clear there buddy. Dont worry, lower it.

Yeah I have Strano/Koni's and only rub the front airdam occasionally, It really is a nice setup.

Our springs dont sag over time. They will give a drop of 1" but just like any other springs have gone to 1.20"

Also our whole set is on sale for $174.95 which is a killer price!

With stock ypipe and headers you have nothing to worry about. Strano springs are very consistent and drop the car around 1.2 inches. Can't say enough about the Strano springs with Koni combo. The combo amazes me again and again, especially when I compare it to many of the cars I've test driven in the past few years... Subarus, BMWs..
