Default Which lowering springs ride the best?

A few years back I would have asked which lowering springs corner the best but being my DD I dont want my car to vibrate my teeth out over bumps!

That being said, I will be putting 19x9.5 SVE wheels with 275/40/19 tires all around on in a few weeks and need to kill some of that fender gap. What springs does everyone reccomend? I was worried the Ford 1" drop may not be enough but I would sacrifice a bit of esthetics for ride quality if there is a big difference between 1" and the 1.5" springs or between the different brands.

I have FRPP K springs on my 2011 GT and I love them. I paired them up with some Tokico shocks/struts and the ride it great. The drop was perfect for the stock 19" GT/CS wheels.

I'm running these UPR Pro Series lowering springs which are made for us by Eibach, to the same specs as Eibach's Pro Kit springs. Same Million Mile Warranty as well. They have a good ride quality in my opinion.

I went with the Vogtland sport springs and for the price I couldn't be happier. $65. shipped to my door. They may still have them on sale.

Steeda sports combined with Koni STR-T gives the car a nice lowered stance and the ride quality is great. If you get lowered, what ever you choose, get caster/camber strut mount plates and an adjustable panhard bar so that everything gets aligned properly.

I'm running the Roush 1/1.25 with those same rims (285/35 though).
