Default Strano springs or BMR? *Suspension question*

I have finally decided to do away with the stock ride height days and go ahead and decide on what lowering springs to go with. I've asked a few friends of mine and I've kind of decided between Strano Springs or BMR springs (I still have stock shocks but, Eventually plan on buying a different set of shocks down the road). From the pictures I have seen of each drop look great and I'd probably be happy with either one. I've heard I'd be best with either two and I'm no suspension guy so I'm clueless and wouldn't mind some suggestions or comments. I'm just wondering what everyones input is on either spring and maybe help me decide which road to take on this decision.

Thanks,

-Shawn

Spend your money on [good] shocks first.

I really don't have that much at the moment, Just wanting to get rid of stock ride height with the best springs. All though I plan on getting shocks not too long after the springs... I still need a clutch so I really won't have money for shocks lol.

Save up and get the shocks first. The stock shocks will not be happy with either of those spring choices.

But if ur set on gettin the springs first go with Strano.

Konis plus Stranos. Don't do the job twice, it will just be twice the labor. Bite the bullet, save up for Stranos and Konis.

Good advice. It was worth the wait for me. You will need a panhard bar to center the rear when you lower also. I did Sam's bars too and they are a big handling upgrade and tie the spring/shock package together. I know I know, money doesn't grow on trees but you will enjoy the benefits of these mods everytime you drive your car, not just WOT pulls

I bought his HP4 package, now im just waiting for it to come in. Just did an a4 to m6 swap, putting 4.11's in, plus that package, so im hoping it will be a completely different car. And i know it will be worth the wait, because after this i dont want to **** with my car for a while.
