Which springs?

Its time to replace my springs, I'd like to lower my car a little bit....1 inch max....since i have 315's on the rear and dont want to lose my headers going over speed bumps. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

I have BMR on my car. It was lowered about 1" after all the settling was finished. And it rides pretty good for being on 18" wheels all the way around.
Here's some pictures:

Will the BMR springs hurt launching much?

Thats about what I'm looking for. When you say about 1" was it a little more or a little less than an inch? And where and how much did you get your springs for?

Thanks for the reply.

Ground Control adjustable spring perches and 125 lb springs. That's what I use and love them. That way you can adjust your ride height to whatever you want. Call Sam Strano and he'll fix you up.

I'd say a little more than an 1". But not too much more. It was just right for me, and all I wanted was about 1".
