'11 LS lowering question
Looking to lower my '11 LS with stock tires. I would like to go with a staggered look so I am wondering who sells the best springs for this? I looked at BMR but they only sell 1.2" drop springs but like I said, I want to go for a staggered look. Also, I may be upgrading my wheels in the future but won't ever go over 20" so not sure if that should be a factor as well. Help is appreciated, thanks!

It sounds as though adjustable coilovers is what you want. They should give you the flexibility to set the ride height you want and adjust it later if you put bigger wheels on.
Pedders, Pfadt, BC Racing, I'm sure there are others available.

I have been thinking of coilovers, I just don't have the money. I was hoping to be able to just use springs but I don't know.

I believe that companies offer split drop springs for the V8. You could buy some V8 take off struts for about $90, put the springs in them and replace your entire strut/spring assembly. Should be a direct replacement for 2011's. Just throwing that idea out there.

Pfadt springs or coilovers.
Stanced setup meaning rake? |

When running a staggers offset it will be best to run coilovers as already suggested. I have a staggered offset on my daily and the way I could make the car level was coilovers. Heres a thread link to KW V3s.

Or you can buy the pedders 1.3"/1" split drop. It gives the car a slight raked look. They also have a 1.3" / 1.5" drop.
