Re: lowering springs?

Sportlines are a 2" drop - you'd want the ProKit from Eibach which is a 1" drop.

You'll probably need an adjustable panhard bar as well - lowering the car makes the rear end not sit evenly under the car left to right and an adj panhard bar will correct this.

Re: lowering springs?

Even on a stock spring, stock wheel & tire and good shocks, an Adjustable Panhard Bar can be a good thing.

On my 87 GTA, the rear axle was offset to the drivers side, by almost a full inch. So I HAD to put one on to fit my 315s.
