suspension Question? Please help!!

I am looking to lower my car about an inch or so. I was looking at the Hotchkis and Eibach lowering springs. Which springs are the better one to go with? Also all that has to be done is to replace the springs w/ the lowering springs? Right? Is it really that easy to lower your car and inch? Well thanks in advance for any help.

this should be in the suspension section but,
both are fine. yes that's all you need to do to lower your car 1". but, get an alignment afterwards because it changes the camber.

Use quality drop spindles unless you want to wear your tires out in very little time. Alternatively, go with the drop springs and use a castor/camber kit to restore the geometry.
