all lowered birds and ta's in please

Hi,
im debating on lowering my firebird or not. As you can see i have lowered my iroc already with dropzones and a very little cuting. I liked the results and would like to change the springs to something lower then it is now on the bird if you look at pics of it it sits up like a truck. I know the rear springs have to be changed anyhow (old owner instaled the wrong size and they rub).
what kinds are out there GM factory replacments are the gta ones lower or anything?

anyone ever buy the lowering sets they are selling on ebay now for like 90bucks?? i never heard of them before they look like dropzones (red with white part # letters) but dont say that name in the ad. And they look like they are progressive style spring unlike dropzones.

If you have pics of a lowered firebird post some up or links and let me know what kind of springs. Im not looking to spend more on the springs as i did the car,,but post pics of all different setups.. im thinking eather cheap lowering set or a set of good used factory lower then stock '82 s/e springs.
thanks guys

edit** heres the link for my bird site so you can see it now....
