A little lower than 1"
Iam looking for some lowering spring that will lower my car a little more than 1' all around I was looking at eibachs pro-kit but they only lower the car 1' and there kinda expensive. Can anybody recommend some springs for me?

This might be a stupid question but is it at all possible to use 4th gen aftermarket springs on my 3rdgen?

Only the rears.
Look into Dropzone springs, they are cheap (~$100) and lower the car 1.5" rear and 1.75" front I believe. I have the rears installed on my car. Too scared to install the fronts until I get a stock oilpan again. My aftermarket one hangs too low for my comfort

Raked look? I'm the opposite of that right now. Its disgusting, I hate my front end higher than stock (because of all the weight reduction in the front), and the rear lowered. I want to get the front springs installed, but I can't until I change my oilpan.

I did the pro kit thing not too long ago. They'll give you what you want if you take the rear spring isolators out while you've got it apart.
Word to the wise, though; my handling got weird with the isolators out, and I'll be putting them back in ASAP. Something about the rear roll center being too low, the big boys tell me. My subframe connectors drag all the time too. If looks is all you want and you don't have SFCs, you'd be fine.
Going any lower than the pro kit will cause you clearance problems if you live anywhere with crappy roadways. Here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area going lower than the pro kit would be a monumental pain, unless a guy likes creeping through intersections and into parking lots.
Just my .02
