Which springs with stock struts: Max H tech Prog

I need to get rid of the wheel gap but Im saving for summertime 20s so money is tight. Which spring is the best to run with stock SE shocks/struts for about a year until I upgrade to gr-2s Maxspeed, H-tech, or Progress, also I want a level drop that wont rub with 20x8.5 Diablo Lionharts...not sure of the offset. I also have two 12's in the trunk so the rear is wayed down about 75 lbs.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

H&R - You'll want the least extreme drop to make your stockers last as long as possible. Also, with 20's, the ride will be much stiffer - the H&R's offer the best ride of aftermarket springs.

i would go with the H-techs. I have those paired with the GR2s and its a nice ride. Plus, with your subs, it will make the drop more even since the springs lower the front a tad more than the rear.
