finally preparing to drop the car- have koni yellows on standby- ordering
(1) Bmr sp009 - spring rate 165 front, 160 rear- approx 1.5 drop
(2) Bmr pan hard
(3) maximum motorsports c/c plates

Budget is pretty tight
spring rates? ride quality, enough drop? wheel hop? proper pinion angle?
car will be used mostly street but would like to attend some track days,
any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance!

Not needed
Two price stock driveshaft can adapt to the small change in pinion angle.
I did do lower control arms and added relocation brackets to adjust antisquat (correct angle) I found they made a big difference in wheel hop but they can be added later.
The pan hard support brace is very flimsy (flex by hand) I would maybe ad that for now
