new springs.

ok, i have read this thread about new springs
Third Generation F-Bodies > Tech Boards > Suspension / Chassis / Brakes>new springs (NOT LOWERING)

and i still have a few questions, the only reason i started a new thred was because that one is so damn long, that no one wants to read it anymore,(that and i am a silly post whoring selfish punk, who craves atention like a newborn baby )

ok, my firebird has shot springs, car sits way to low. as you can see in my sig, the front is lower then the rear. i like this. i think it looks kick ***. i want to rais the rear back to stock height, and hav the front about one inch (just enough to notice) lower then stock. the car is a daily driver, i want stiff suspension because i like the way it feels. i have a 36mm sway bar in front that keeps the car pretty stiff even with shot springs. i am mostly looking to stop scraping on speed bumps and driveways.

so my question is: will having the front lower then the rear cause any problems with handling. i know back in the sixtys and seventys it was a popular thing to do. of course that was because thos cars were square like bricks and they needed to do that for downforce. anyway, i am looking at WS^ rear springs, i still am not sure about a part number. also what kind of lowering spring is the best for a one inch lower. i did a search and came up with several brands but none that were "the best" habds down. is there a best or is it all just conflicting opinions.

thakyou all in advance for your help
