Default What brand of springs

I am going to be getting new shocks, struts and springs soon and wanted to know what brand of springs I should buy and what is a good ride height or how low i should lower for just everyday driving. I have a 1988 5.0 lx notch at stock ride height i believe, has 17X9 wheels all around. I am looking at the eibach pro kit, vogtland, ksport or H&R springs. Let me know what you have used in the past liked or disliked and what you recommend. thanks

H&R springs seem to be real good! ...I never had a problem with my FRPP C springs or my Eibach Drag Launch springs!

...pic with the C springs on my old 91 GT...

I need to get a set of rear drag launch springs also. I need to get rid of the 4x4 look and hopefully it will help my short time.

I have the eibach drag springs with lakewood drag shocks and struts....
they seem to hook up well, but i just bought the car with them installed already and i only drove it for 2 days before i tore it apart to clean it up a little..

FRPP c's are really nice for a small drop but I am going with H&R's when I get another set.
