If you want to ride low, 22k/20k if you want a comfortable daily, stick to stock. Beauty of ordering new BC is you can custom your rates to whatever you want.

I have the Xtreme drop kit, 10k front 10k rear spring, 19x9.5 and 19x10.5, 35 series side walls, and I am pretty low.

Car is driven 75+ miles a day without any issue. FL roads are pretty good though.

ran BC's on my boosted 350Z and really loked them. Have Stance on the GS. Even on the softest setting they ride very harsh. You should be happy with thr BC's.

Thats odd mine rides like a dream on full stiff. They must have revamped things for the SuperSport series. Unless you did what many others have done and lowered the car by unlocking the spindles and dropping the spring. By doing that you dramatically shorten the travel of the strut giving you a harsh bumpy ride. With Stance they are designed to be lowered by spinning the lower cup downward. This allows you to do at least a 4 inch drop without affecting the strut travel. Since the coilover is far shorter then stock suspension I was able to achieve a pretty slammed fitment on 19's by only dropping an inch on the lower cup. I could go way lower with Stance and still keep the maximum strut travel.

You should just get it without the drop kit to be safe. You can still go low with the standard one once you decide to run smaller wheels. better to be safe then sorry..
