Default Real World Advice - Raleigh

So I'm trying to decide on a drop for my xb 1st gen, and in reading the forums dedicated to that, I'm just getting more and more differing opinions. I need one piece of real world advice.

For anyone in Raleigh/Durham/etc, can you please tell me which type of lowering springs are working well for you? I'm looking at moving up to 18x7 wheels too, if that helps. Obviously I don't want something too extreme, but if there is a spring/shock combo that gives you zero problems, please help a brother out. My driving ranges from the crap that is Dawson road, to the tranquility of 540.

Thank you.

Haha, under Goldie's backseat! I'll get them out by Friday. I'm off for the next two days, so besides a vet appointment tomorrow morning I'll have some time to breathe.
