Your idea of "the best" is subjective. It differs greatly from person to person and depends on what you in particular want to get from the springs.

Just check in this sub-forum. There are a lot of threads concerning certain springs, and I think there's a comparison thread somewhere...

denracing- if i was to do lowering springs again, i would probably get the
Progress springs along with their rear swaybar.

this way you dont have to mess with aftermarket hardware (bolts)
or grinding them down when you mount the rear swaybar.

with only springs, i recommend you use the rear swaybar.
with coilovers, i recommend you try without the swaybar first and decide.

i ended up taking my rear swaybar off after getting the enduratechs.

goodluck with your decision.

Skunk2 springs here. They are okay but a little bouncy and gives a bit of drop.

Kenchen, will there be any issues if I install the Progress RSB with Skunk2 springs? Cause I just ordered one.

1wayfit- pretty sure you need to use those panducky hardware for
non-Progress lowering springs.

1WayFit,
I have both Skunk2 springs and Progress RSB installed and am very satisfied with the combination. I did the opposite of what you are about to do, I had the RSB installed first, then installed the Skunk2 springs later.
Immediately after install, I experienced a lot of creaking. I shot spray lube onto the top and bottom spring perches, and the noises went away. It's been good ever since then.
If you are interested, you might get an idea of what to expect from the installation of these two products. I did a post at NorCalFit, here is the link:
NorCalFit -> Decisions...which springs to choose?
