Default I'm Wanting To Go With a Rake Stance......

What type of lowering springs would you guys suggest.. All my suspension is stock right now. I have 17's up front & 18's in the rear. Might go with some 15" wheels & taller DR tires in the back also in the near future... Thanks

As you can see my car needs a lowering ASAP!

Here is a car I helped put together that has some 15" Weld Alumastars and our BMR lowering springs, the car has an amazing stance and the suspension worked very well. This car cut 1.35-1.36 60ft times with this setup.

So its either Strano or BMR lowering springs & then since I have stock shocks I'm either thinking about KYB or Koni? I guess KYB are pretty cheap compared to Koni so I might go with those. I also heard that Bilstein are decent also. Any advice???
