It deffinatly needs to come down a little.
Any kit will look good. The least amount of lowering springs out there are usually 1". They can go from 1.3" to 2" after that. I would consider the Prokit or Sportlines.
Compromise- 1.5"
It could use a lower stance, in my opinion. It's sitting a little high.

ya i know its to high now and has a to much of a space between the tire and wheel well. i think i am going to go 1.5" is there lowering springs that will give me a soft ride and good handling???if possible i would like to avoid the harsher ride.

1.5 would be too much around here, an inch is the most I'd do as far as speedbumps, driveways, etc.

I would put ground effects on it, they make it look alot lower and you don't have to go through the inconvience of having a lowered car.
see..oh ya thank for the info i am going to go 1" then i dont wanna be mashing the floor. so i am guess there is no lowering spring that could give me the same comfort as stock one do??

You should try the Edlebrock Eibach Sportline springs. They are stiffer than the stock, but they are prgressively wound so normal driving comfort is maintained.Originally posted by chevyrumble83

The Sportlines give too much of a drop though. Go with the Pro-Kits.
And what's this Edelbrock crap?

Eldelbrock uses Eibach springs. When you buy an Edelbrock spring kit your actually buying Eibach springs.Originally posted by CaysE

2"
And this is right after changing the springs. They have dropped a little bit more, but they are almost there. Great springs.

well, you could also get 91-92 ground effects, that would make it look lower, since them ground effects are not as low.
That or I would say, 2" if your not running super low exhaust, if you are (like me) then no more than 1" if any.
I loke lowered 3rd gens a lot, however, I run true dual with an X pipe and if I lower the car at all from stock height, I will scrape just driving down a flat road. My car sits great to me, it's got the 91 ground effects, 17" ROH wheels with the 45 series tires. I like it, however, if I did not run this exhaust set up, I would go 2" no doubt.
You do good with 2" with them ground effects...
