What springs would be best?
I've had cheap 2" drop springs and now have coilovers but I want something that rides better. What springs will give me a good ride with a 2" drop? I'll take cheap springs again if I have to but want at least 2" of drop.
*coilovers will be for sale with konis for $500 when I get new springs.

Lots of luck with that soft spring and a 2" drop thing 
2" drop is really hard to get any decent ride due to the suspension travel that is unavailable because of the potential for bottoming out. CO's are going to be the only way to approach it with any type of success. Contact MM and look into swapping springs for a better ride. I used to have 300# CO springs on Koni Yellows up front and ride was quite good on a 2" drop, but large bumps were a constant reminder of my lack of suspension travel.

You set them to comfort for you. And 300lb CO spring rate should ride like a freakin dream man!!! Just raise the ride to like 1 3/4" and roll with it. Youre not going to gain ride quality back by going back to stock location springs, period. CO is where its at and thats as good as its going to get.

werd to teej....
Up your ride so you have some suspension travel. Since you are running 300#/125# CO's there is NO POSSIBLE way you could have a rough ride unless you are running a titanium rod in lue of shocks!

well that or being dropped over 3 inches lol. i think i just need to mess with the adjustment settings because i set them all the way stiff because i figured it would bounce too much if i put them softer.
