H&R springs from Maximum Motorsports. this is what most of the "top" guys over at corner carvers forum suggest. they have them in a few versions, like street, sport, race, etc

if you dont already have them you might want to consider adjustable lower control arms so you can raise or lower the rear end to where you like it. Or you could mismatch springs, like do a larger drop in the front but that just more bs imo.
