Preference on springs
OK, I want to lower my car but I want a nice drop from the front. I've been reading upon the Dropzone's and the Eibach Sportline kit. Dropzone gives you a 1.75" on the front and a 1.5" on the rear, now as far as Eibach they only give you a 1.5" all around. I prefer the Dropzone's because it would give it a more aggressive stance but what im really concern about is the quality and performance on the Dropzone's. Any info would be gratefully appreciated and pics as well.

Re: Preference on springs
I dont know much about dropzone, but I heard they are very cheap and crapy. I just installed Intrax springs on my 89 iroc and got a very nice drop and ride quality. I have 17's with 235 45 17's up front and 275 40 17's in the back which fit very nicely. I also installed KYB's and new steering/bushings to go along with the springs. The intrax are working great for me so far. Here are some pics:

Re: Preference on springs
One more thing. I am having trouble with the rear shocks because they are too long. I need to replace them with a shorter shock because the springs are a lot shorter then stock springs and almost fall out when the rear is jacked up.. I would recommend lowering shocks for the rear.

Re: Preference on springs

Re: Preference on springs
I got these from Summit and they were advertised as 2.0 in the front and 1.8 in the rear. They were 200 dollars i believe. I can even find them on the website now. I do have a fiberglass hood also. If it was steel, I think the fron would be a little lower...

Re: Preference on springs
OK, I got 16" IROC's on mine but I want about a 1 3/4" drop in the front and about a 1-1 1/2" in the rear if you paid $200 then I'm probably better going with the Eibach sportline springs there on sale I beleive and plus there's a 10% rebate on them right now.
