matching springs
Ok i've already got kyb agx shocks. Which springs should i match them with? I've heard they wear out fast so would i be better going with a softer spring or harder? I don't mind lowering it but i don't want a big drop. I have a lot of miles so i'm thinking about getting the slp take off oem springs if lowering springs are too hard. Any suggestions welcome. Also what is stiffer bmr or eibach prokit?
Thanks

Re: matching springs
If you want a decent ride quality, I would suggest Intrax.
from their website www.intraxsuspension.com :
INTRAX designs most of its lowering kits with progressive rates, to satisfy the two features you've asked for most. First, the lowered look. Most other brands' springs are linear rate, as this is cost-effective but doesn't necessarily provide the visual effect you desire. By designing a progressive spring, we achieve the lowered look while maintaining safety standards of spring preload at suspension droop. The second requirement is ride quality. Since most of you identified that you drove 90% of your mileage to and from work, you wanted to retain some ride quality enjoyed with OE springs. If you're driving to work on a racetrack, "Sport" or "Race" springs from other brands may be for you. INTRAX progressive springs provide high performance looks and comfortable ride quality.
INTRAX creates the finest springs, from start to finish. INTRAX springs begin the forming process with cold winding to the most exacting standards. Within two hours of forming, springs are stress relieved in an oven (not to be confused with heat treating), and then shot peened to remove surface imperfections and further relieve internal stress. This can extend service life of a spring up to 200% or more. Next, the spring is "blocked" (wound to a longer length than required, and set in a hydraulic press to obtain designed free length). This eliminates the "settling" other brands require, due to the lower cost of their production processes. Finally, springs are Phosphate coated for corrosion resistance, and electrostatically powder coated to ensure a lifetime of outstanding looks.
The measurement from the ground up to the fender lip is 26.5". still some clearance, but the stance is just sooo right.
