Default CAnt decide on springs

Im picking up a TA and need to have it lowered asap. It Currently has 18 inch wheels and id like to run Nitto 305's in the rear. I had the eibach prokit on my camaro (pic in sig) and i like the way it sat with the front and rear level. I do know that the prokit isnt exactly the ideal spring set up because of the rates. Is there a higher quality spring out there that will give me about the same drop? I know the stranos are recomended but it doesnt lower the rear enough for my liking.

Have you seen strano springs on cars with 18" wheels?
This is not low enough for you???

Well dont put the isolator in then, Use the hose mod with the Strano's

I got 18's on my car, W/ the Rear isolator on the Strano springs and my rear doesnt look any different than yours

I'd like my stranos a bit lower, but the ground clearance is killer. So its a good tossup. After tons of searching i went with stranos and have no complaints thus far.

i have a set of vogtland springs, and thier alot better then factory, but im looking to upgrade, probably to the strano spec'd ones, because ive heard their just a touch better all around...as for the hose mod, i know alot of guys do it, i just dont trust it, gm gave you that isolator for a reason, id just as soon use it....
knowing gm, they would have gone cheaper if they thought it was prudent
