Lowering Iroc

Ok, in favor of a lower better looking stance for my iroc i've decided to look into lowering my car. I don't wanna "drop" it to the ground. Just maybe 2 inches or so. Are there kits out there I can get that allow me to use my stock rims and tires without having to have to worry about them rubbing over bumps or turns? And, what all do I need (parts wise) to lower the car?

Thanks in advance...

eibach prokit will drop it 1.75 in front and 1.5 in back, and the stock tires will work fine, no rubbing etc. however, the lowering springs are stiff as hell and will only amplify squeeks and rattles, as well as adversely affecting ride quality, i would suggest sfc's as well.

i think sportlines lowers close to 2 inches, the prokit only does close to 1 inch.

yeah eibach makes good springs.

you might want to look into getting an aftermarket adjustable panhard bar and rear lower control arm relocation brackets.
