Lowering Springs or Dropped spindals...?

Whats up Peoples.. I have a 89 GTA.. fender gap noticably higher in the front.. I have a set of Eibach Sport spring I had intended to install.. But after speaking with some locals.. they all recommened not going no more than 1".. they recommened the Hotchkis springs.. which is a 1" drop.. but will this rid the excessive gap in the front? or should i look into a dropped spinal setup?

ALSO.. I will be doing occasional drag strip passes and possibly some auto x.. I do have all UMI performance fully Adjustable panhard bar and LCA's.. with relocation brackets (havent installed those yet thou) And a Adjustable Torque Arm.. Another thing .. I currently have the KYB AGX adjustables on the rear and was intending on getting the same for the front but after reading some posts.. i may return the rears and get the KONI yellows.. Any Opinions or info would Help..

The Sportlines will give the vehicle a nice dropped look and ride. The 1" drop springs will lower the fender gap somewhat and improve the handling. Both need a good set of struts and shocks to complement the set up. If you plan to take it to the strip and drive it on the road, you may want to go with the lesser of the drop options. Your choice.
