Welcome tommi...

86 IROC, good year. There are many lower springs to choose from, I personally like Eibachs. They lower the car and give you a nice balance between performance and comfort. The Pro-Kit will drop you about 1" from stock height and the Sportlines will drop you about an 1 1/2". I went with the Pro-Kit because the roads in Ohio aren't the smoothest. If you are going with lowering springs be sure to get yourself some good Struts/Shocks... Do a search in the suspension / chassis section and you will find several different brands of lower springs.

Welcome Tommi,
I too am from Iceland, but have been living abroad most of my life. Last time I lived there was in 1990 and gas was I believe $1/liter.
I am running the Eibach Sportlines on my 88 Formula.
I think it sits pretty decent,

wow, that is pretty steep. Where I am at it is now $2.75/gallon for 93 octane.
Do they still have that 1/4 (or 1/8th mile, can't remember the length) track between Reykjavik and Keflavik?
