Im just looking for a 1 -1.5 drop max for the rear. Which springs should i go with that will still have a stock/decent ride with the stock shocks that only have 30k miles on them? Does anyone have anything there looking to sell maybe a shock /spring combo or just the springs?

We offer a rear lowering spring that sounds like it would fit the bill perfectly. The rear only spring part # is SP003 and will run $125.95 here is a link to the page http://www.bmrfabrication.com/F-bodySuspension.htm This rear spring is a 1.25" progressive lowering spring so ride quality is not compromised when lowering the vehicle. If you have any other questions regading our products please feel free to ask....

But how do your progressive rate lowering springs behave with stock shocks? I doubt the stock shocks have the proper damping capabilities - they don't even work well with the stock springs...

I personally would never buy springs first (too use with stock shocks) - I would at least buy the shocks first - then the springs - optimum would be to buy spring/shock package that work together.
With progressive rate lowering springs and stock shocks you would be worse off as far as handling goes.
Kinda like buying a killer set of heads without the appropriate cam to go with them to realize the full potential of the new heads -or- visa versa
