I have the stances 8k/9k... front drops low.. I would like the rear a touch lower. Any tips you have for me on what I can do? They are the lowest setting with both locking rings out.

Keep the stiffer ones. You'll be much happier.

I'm thinking about maybe making up the difference by taking the perch out in the rear. I already have the bump stop out. The perch is worth another what? 1/16"-1/8"? I'd like to keep the same fitment that I had.

I actually like the look of the Varrstoen Es2's over the Volk TE37's. Volk's don't seem to have any concave.

I really need to hub swap I'm starting to fall for those T6S Enkei's... Lol, but hub swaps seem so expensive.

I'd rather get a set of wheels custom drilled over the hub swap.

I really like those too, Id like to sell my rims and get a 17x9 all around for my car and run 255/40. Crazy grip. and probably lighter than what I have.

I got you on the pics

Try to find Stance, unless BC redesigned theirs they werent much lower than the megans. Ksports even go pretty low, you may not even need the collars out. Stance will not disappoint though.
