BMR Fabrication has JAMEX lowering springs on sale for $99+shipping.
I bought a set of them and put them on last night. Took only 2.5 hours for my friend and I, working very leisurely, to put all 4 of them on. There is a tech article by Matt Persman on this site that gives detailed instructions on installing lowering springs.
Thanks Matt, made my life easier.
Here is the site for the springs, http://www.bmrfabrication.com

How did the car ride after you put the jamex springs in? This sounds like a great deal on springs.Is there enough play at top of the struts to properly adjust camber for a proper alignment or did not effect it that much?
I put Intrax 2" drop springs on my car. It looks great and handles really good! The problem is that it rides like a 1 ton truck if not worse. It was worth it to me but you need to decide the give and take.

I was wondering about the ride because I drive a forklift about half the time and I do not want my Iroc to feel like that. Dropped spindles sound good if i can upgrade brakes on them. Does anyone know?
