I might be biased, but I'd say Strano springs (and we have some in stock even).

Thanks for the consideration, we have had great success pairing our springs with the Koni's. If you have any questions I can help you with in making your decision please feel free to ask!!

Here's a few after I put the Strange Adjustable Shocks and AFCO Springs on the SS
The Rear Tire size is a 325/50/15 on a 15x10" wheel and the Fronts are 26x4.5"

BMR 1'' drop on stock shocks.I think the front might sit a tad lower than normal cause of the iron block.Rides good to me.I was expecting a harsh stiff ride from the BMR reviews on here.Im happy with it

Car looks great with the lowering springs Love the color also The misconception of a higher spring rate not offerring a quality ride is a common misconception with a properly designed high quality spring this is not an issue......

I have an 02 SS with stocks shocks and I notice everyone seems to always add the aftermarket shocks around the same time as the springs - I was wondering, if I go with BMR springs, will I run into any problems due to the stock shocks? (I'd rather not have to spend the extra money for shocks too unless its a NEED)

**edit** I believe my question might have already been answered, nm.
