I would say to go with a spring that drops the car how you like it. I personally have the BMR lowering kit and love the springs. It dropped the car 1.25 inches in the front and 1.75 inches in the back.

I suggest the BMR lowering kit. It gives the car a great stance and it includes everything you need to properly lower the car.

I installed Shelby Razor with 295/30/20 in the rear. Would I have clearance issues by lowering it 1.75?

Nope. They are the same size as the stock tires height wise.

+1 to redfire. I have the the bmr lowering kit and have a 295/30/20 in the back. Could probably fit a 295/40/20 fine too
