Has anyone run the IE stage 2 springs on the street, if so what shocks are you using? Also, Any ideas on the best low[er]ing springs that still handel well?

I use koni's with my suspension techniques springs. Sight unseen, almost any springs that lower the vehicle and the vehicle's center of gravity will improve handling. Your question is so broad as to be difficult to answer. There are o.e. linear springs then there are progressive springs each with different spring "rates"

Consider searching the archives. This subject including "shortened" springs and cutting the stock springs has been dealt with many times. It would help if your searched terms were spelled correctly unless you are searching for misspelled terms.
