Default what srings?

I have koni sa shocks already and was wanting to change out my springs I have G2 springs and i think with high rear spring rate that the ride is a little rough the ride is not harsh because of the koni's. I want the smoothest riding lowering springs that i can find to replace my G2 springs. I only use the car as a daily driver and dont want it to lower more than 1.25". Thanks for the replies.

Keep in mind that the lower you go, the stiffer the springs need to be to prevent bottoming.

The prokit is a 400/80-137lb set so it's not too stiff.

What are your shocks set to?

Tires make a big difference in ride. Maybe a softer side wall or lower pressure will take the hard edge off your ride quality. I knoe the stock GSC were good aweful stiff. No spring or shock would have helped with them.
