Default New Suspension Suggestions?

So I need new suspension and I need some advice as well. I like Steeda, do they have good suspension equipment? Also I have roush side skirts and ground effects with dual side exhaust, so the car doesn't need to be lowered. But I would like some good race springs... ( handling is nice, but not a must) Any suggestions?

Kind of important, but I would enjoy performance more. The biggest thing is that the side skirts and exhaust already sit so low, I dont want to worry about it dragging if I get new springs.

Offhand, I'd say go with Roush -they have v6 springs, and they were made to work with your side skirts.

The Roush springs drop the front end 1.5" and the rear .8" I dont want it to drop anymore. So what else would I have to get?

Stick with the OEM springs and use better anti-sway bars to keep cornering even.

no, if you don't want to lower the car, your springs are fine -you need better anti-sway bars for handling.
