Hello
Thanks for looking to UMI Performance for help! Lowering springs are great for corner cutting and road racing. BUT They aren't always the greatest for at the track (weight transfer wise) Don't get me wrong some suspension set ups can be descent but in the end it all depends on the spring rating. what we usually do is go with the heater hose mod in the rear with a good adjustable rear shock and a QA1 front coil over with a 300lbs front spring rate. And they still allow you to adjust the ride height as long as you get a spanner wrench (highly recommended). But if we do decide to run a lowering spring we go with the Strano springs. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help. Below is a link to show you what all we have to offer.

so a 300lb spring rate would work at the track well and will also drive "decent" on the street?
how much for the front two qa1 coilovers? with everything needed to install
