As others had stated I had to fight to keep the car straight or else the rear and front of the car would drift to the right lol, as if steering from the rear. A symptom of having insane toe out on the right side of the car and toe in on the left side. Wasn’t a fun drive to the alignment shop

KW/ST seems to be the go-to comfort/sporty setup these days across many chassis.
I'd pick one of those two, or Bilstein or Tein over BC if you're looking for street comfort. You could probably also get a nice ride quality improvement with a set of Koni Yellows paired with your current lowering springs. |

^Yeah the rear OEM mount especially does not have much give so there's minimal difference there. For the front, a high quality spherical bearing top mount will have a slight impact on ride quality.

Do spherical bearing rear top hats raise or lower the car at all? I’m on springs/shocks and I’d like to keep the ride height where it is at.

Just to clarify the video of the truck, this happens when the rear axel shifts on the springs. Rear wheel drive with solid axels.

Depends on the design and how they locate the spring perch. You have to email the manufacturer of the part to get the answer to your question if they don't publicize a ride height change or dimensions for you to measure.

Most of the basics have been covered, but if you really want to go low for aesthetic reasons and have a reasonably good ride & still handle well I'd suggest RS*R Black-Is.
I personally run HKS Hipermax GTs but my ride is slightly crashier than I'd like with how low I am. Although I still MUCH prefer my setup over the OEM performance pack suspension my car came with. If I raised up 0.5" my car would ride like a dream, but my inner fitment perfectionist won't let me... |
