Default tokico blue which springs are the best

Currently I have tokico blues shock was wondering what springs would be best for a daily driver? Im looking for 1 inch drop all around dont want to put chamber kit on it and i was looking for a middle to stiff ride with little to no bounce. Any suggestions? And thank you for your time.

^ Tein s-tech springs drop the car approx. 0.7" front and 0.6" rear. You will most likely be able to align the car without using an aftermarket camber kit (I used to have the Tein s-techs). A good spring that drops the car 1" all around would be the Eibach pro-kit. You will probably require a rear camber kit, but no front camber kit. There are a few threads on here with reviews of the Eibach springs. A search should help you out. Good luck!

Agreed with the Tein S. If you look at the drop rate AND spring rate, it sounds like it'd work for you. They are stiffer than stock but not kidney punchers.
