That depends on what factors are important to you. A certain ride height, ride quality, etc.. BMR, Pfadt, Eibach, and Hotchkis all make great lowering springs. I personally run BMR 1 inch springs.

There are a couple companies out there that make good quality lowering springs that they stand behind so you with your question you will end up getting a couple different answers more than likely. We feel that our BMR lowering springs are very hard to beat for price. They are a very affordable spring that offers improved performance without sacrificing much ride quality at all. Another awesome thing about our BMR lowering springs is that we offer a lifetime warranty against sag with them so if you ever run into a issue you are covered. If you have any questions on them or if there is anything we can help you out with let us know.

BMR 1.4" lowering springs (SP022)

This subject has been addressed A LOT. Hit the "search this forum" button and type in "best drop springs". That should get you started. Everyone has their favorites, just like most things. Pick the one that you like the stance of, can afford, and call it good. If you're looking for performance along with better looks, i'd HIGHLY suggest getting a set of sway bars as well. The combo will really change the feel of your car. Most places will have a much better deal on the springs/sways combo, over buying the separately.

Hotchkis would be my #1 choice for 1" lowering springs. Pfadt for 1.25" and BMR for 1.4"

From all the springs I have ridden on, I would say the Hotchkis offer the smoothest ride.

Here are a couple comparison pics:




I'm sure Kyle can pop in with a few pictures to compare BMR

Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions.

Best regards,

Tyler

To further complicate the OP's question, which are best for the 1LE setup?

I have customers who have purchased Hotchkis and Pfadt from us with nothing but positive feedback. I'd say it depends on how low you want to go. 1" = Hotchkis, 1.25" = Pfadt.
