what springs to get for Brembo car

Have a 12 gt with brembo packs and the *** end that is lifted to kingdom come. I thought I wanted BMR springs to settle it down but after talking to friend of mine that had 11 it dropped his rear pretty low and couldn't fit 315 which is what my goal is. So now I'm 2nd guessing getting them

Don't want to loose performance at, but want to gain it.

anyone has pic of the bmr before and after? measurements?

I really like my Ford Racing K Springs. They feel like a good match for the unique damping that only the Brembo car has.

K springs are garbage. They lower too much and are too soft and then the harder part is too short so they can severely upset the handling if you hit a bump in a corner. To lower properly you need a stiffer spring and shocks with more damping doing one without the other is a recipe for garbage.

Too soft, but stiffer than stock? Can't be both.

Your post doesn't make any sense. K springs drop 1 inch.

I went with the Eibach pro-kit on mine. It is a mild drop compared to some of the others that are out there. I love the way it sits. It sits the way I would imagine it should have from the factory (not offroad capable). The ride is a bit stiffer, passengers have said "it feels like a race car". I don't have any complaints about it, and don't have any discomforts in regards to ride comfort. As I'm in need of new tires, I haven't been able to really push it in the corners yet. But the new autox season is coming up real soon, if my memory serves me right.

Disregard the missing tint on the front marker...
