Default BMR/Koni
Just recently installed a set of BMR springs w/ koni SA shocks and I have to say WOW. Night and day difference in how the car handles. It takes corners really nicely and when going over bumps actully feels like cushion instead of all bumpy and ruff.

We don't get very many complaints about that combination. Our spring rate works well with the Koni shock valving and gives you the stance you want without sacrificing ride quality. Be sure to post pictures of the finished stance
