1LE springs vs. hotckis springs

Guys I've got a question. A friend of mine has a 91 Z28 and he and I are rebuilding the suspension. Does anyone know the spring rate of 1LE springs and if they lower the cars ride height? The car will be driven on the street most of the time so he does not want to lower the car to much more than it is with the stock springs.
