Which Springs? I like my ride a little lower to the ground then the stock height. I'm currently running the Sportline springs with Tokico shocks, I think it looks beautiful but I have ZERO luck getting over the smallest of speedbumps. My future plans are Pacesetter LT's, and TSP Catted Y combo into some undecided catback, probably LM2 or MagnaFlo. So my question is what springs will allow me to run the LT's and still make it over speedbumps?

^ My thoughts also. But OP, what will the car be used for? Is it a weekend, daily, or drag car? Knowing that would help a little to steer you in the right direction.

My springs have been around for years, and you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't like them. So much so that others changed their springs to be more like (but not exactly) like what I make.
I have plenty in stock. Shipment just arrived. Price is $275..... which is more on the fact of it--but they are made from more expensive material and shipping from Germany which costs me more to get what I want. Also that price of $275 is *shipped* to your door, so if you really compare apples to apples delivered price you'll see they aren't super expensive in comparison other lesser springs.
My springs tend to sit the same as Pro-kits that aren't seen to be be sagging, or a little taller than those that tend to. Very similar in front, usually a touch higher in the rear. This goes vary car to car. You can check out this thread for a lot of pics of cars on Strano springs: https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...ring-kits.html

The ride is great. The BMR springs gave my car a great stance with my 18" C5 Z06 rims i have. I have some cheap *** kyb gas shocks that i got from a buddy of mine for free. I will eventually upgrade to some better shocks. But i hardly ever drive my car. My car is just a fun street car. Here is a link that i posted with pics of the BMR springs..

To the OP if you do a search for BMR springs you will find plenty of examples of satisfied BMR customers who received a high quality spring at a great value.

I have a set of Eibachs, which I currently hate, though my tune may change with better shocks. It's a simple prokit but it seems to be sagging now and has a terrible ride with no fender gap at all, meaning it rubs lock to lock.
I'd go with Strano, I ordered a set for my dad's Z28 that will be having them put on in about a month or so, but he knows his stuff, and judging from the cars I've seen, the ride height looks much more acceptable than what you will see with Eibachs.

Your proably right! My Panhard Rod and Lower control arm are both BMR, I might as well keep it all the same company.

im in the same boat i have the prokit with stock shocks the ride is horrible right now im deciding if i want to just change the shocks and if that will help or change out the springs as well to something like stranos or bmrs
