I'd say mine. PM answered about your tires and wheels. My springs are proven and it seems we've talked before too.

I have BMR 1.5" lowering kit, with 10.5" rear wheels on a 315/30/18 and they don't rub or anything, all I did was chop off the bumpstops, and beat the inner fender well in with a mallet.

Don't go with BMR, I have stranos and they are by far the best springs out there, great handling and surprisingly smooth ride compared to eibach, hotchkis, and bmr, Sam is a great guy to deal with and you won't be disappointed. I have his springs with Bilstein shocks and 11" wide CCW Classics with 315s, no rubbing at all!

I felt an improvement in handling and the ride is much smoother than I thought it would be on the stranos, not to mention they are tried and proven to be some of the best on the track and auto-x. As far as spring rates and the technical side of it, I'm not to knowledgable, perhaps Sam could tell you more about it.

No problem, I am not bashing on BMR, they still make pretty good springs, especially compared to eibach! Just my .02 on the handling and ride. I just recommend Stranos to anyone, and anyone that has ever ran a strano set up will recommend them over any spring as well.

Thought I'd post up a pic, again this is a Stano/ Bilstein set up, this is also WITH the rear isolator in, I took it out and now the rear sits about half an inch lower than in the pic above!

sometimes pinion angle, susp setups, rear axle tube size will make the rear sit higher or lower on other cars

Those are 315/35/17 ET Street Drag Radials, and like I said thats with the rear isolator in, I did the heater hose mod with the thinnest heater hose I could find and it sits about half inch lower now, if your wheel gap in the rear is a little big for for taste I would recommend doing that, even with that I didn't have to roll my fenders with the Stranos, just a little BFH mod on the inner wheel well.
