Alright well thanks alot to everyone for the different opinions. I'm gonna go ahead and buy the BMR springs probably now with the sale they have going to. Then save up alittle more to get the bilsteins and do the whole install in the spring.

I daily drove on SLP Bilsteins and Hotchkis springs for about 4 years. The Bilstiens worked better than stock and Tokicos. Running soft tires like the Starspec, NT05, or RT615 made the set up shine for handling.
The key is to keep a softer rear rate. It ran some stiffer and shorter springs and the car road like a flat bed truck with the rear skipping on imperfections around turns. In the end, an f-body will never ride smooth.

Overall for the money. It would be tough to beat a Bilstein shock with a cut spring. The cut spring would add a little stiffness to the spring and the shock is good enough to do it's thing.

To add here I'm running Bilsteins w/ a pro-kit. Ride isn't bad nor great . I steer clear of bumps and drive different routes to get away from bumpy roads. I've been thinking to going with a cut ws6/ss spring. Looking for better ride and better weight transfer at the track
