ok need help wana lower my car but have no idea what to look for!!
as i said i want to lower my car. not much maybe a 1" or so. so should i go with springs? eibach or what? whats the difference in the different springs they carry? or what about spindles? what are u easier for the do it yourself mechanic shade tree or what ever else u call them. i take pride in doing things myself so that is why i am asking trying to figure this out. also if i lower my car and i have 16x8 centerlines on there 2 55 on the front and 27x 11.5 16 ont he back i have already messaged my fenderwells will i have ne problem with the tires rubbing i wouldnt think so i see people with 17's on their car and lowered but i thoughti would ask. any pics of lowered firebirds would be great thanks. sorry this all probably seems dumb but just want everything just right!

I have the eibach pro kit springs on my car. Dropped it about an 1" and were a HUGE improvement over my 18 year old stock springs. The othe eibach kit is designed to drop your car 3"-4" and unless you want a lowrider, that's really too much. Hotchkis also makes a set of springs. You can do the work yourself as long as you have a nice big jack and some jackstands and a free weekend. Just look in a chilton's or haynes book to see the procedure. While you're at it, go ahead and replace the struts and shocks.
