lowering springs

what's the best way to go for a 1" drop on an iroc......cut off half a coil on the stock spring or get eibachs or some other after-market springs?

Aftermarket springs will be your best bet. Just replacing the stock worn out springs are a huge difference. Just go for a brand name spring so they don't wear out as quick. Eibach's will last longer than the car.
