Default Spring Advice Please

So I am looking to change out the springs on my 01 SS and am looking at my options. I currently have bilsteins shicks/struts and slp springs.

I had hotchkis 1" drop springs with bilsteins on my 02 SS and really liked them. However, I would like to go with more of a drop without sacraficing performance if possible. The front sat too high for my liking with the hotchkis.

I like the look of the sportlines but know how horrible the quality of that spring is and have ruled those out. I like everything I hear about the strano's but they sit too high for me...

I am currently looking at the DMS springs but have not heard about much feedback in regards to them. Anyone have any advice or recommendations? I have looked at numerous pics of different springs but want to get some advice from those who have run similar setups and their experience...

Although this isn't my dd, I drive the car quite often. It will see the drag track a few times a year and I don't have any desire to do any road racing.

Thanks guys.
