I got H&R. I love the quality of the springs and the ride quality is good also.

H&R SS spring or SR race springs, get a nice set of Tociko dampers, if you want to spend the extra $$$ KONI's or Bilsteins are nice

Bigry18, I'm having the same dilemma. I don't know what springs, cause like you I'm getting 315's and I know the H&R SS are pretty low. What's the drop with SS and all ISO's? Sorry, not trying to hi-jack this thread.

Make sure you guys roll your fenders! H&R are a good brand also Eibach (sportlines) are good also!

It's funny cause on some cars the "C" springs look like they do nothing and on others they look, well.......lower. They are made by Eibach and have almost identical rates as the pro-kits.

I have the C springs (had no idea they were made by Eibach) and while it lowered the front pretty well, the back not so much. I should try taking the ISO's out and see if that helps level it off some.

315/35-17 or 315/60-15?

You can't lower it at all on the 315/60-15.

On the 17s, I'd recommend the UPR Pro Series springs:
