Welcome to TGO, camarokid.
You might check the sticky at the top of the page for additional information. Also, since lowering is common on thirdgens, you could consider a search on the subject.
Best of luck on your project.

Re: lowering springs recommendations?
I used Tokico HPK springs and shocks all around, and that lowered the car anywhere from 1.2-1.5" overall. That's low enough for my taste, and it gives it a better stance.
From what I've heard, the Tokico springs yield results very similar as those you get with Eibach Sportlines. However, as far as I know, Tokico no longer offers the HPK Series kits for 3rd gen F-bodies.
Anyway, thought to mention the Tokicos in case you find springs and/or shocks offered for sale here on TGO or online.

Re: lowering springs recommendations?
I had stock V8 replacement MOOG springs with 1 coil removed in the front and 1.5" Moroso lowering springs in the back matched with Bilstein HD's and adjustable caster and camber plates, LCARB's and adjustable panhard, car handled exceptionally well, bump steer was horrid on grooved/uneven roads though and speed bumps were a "must avoid at all costs" type of deal. Still, car was smooth as glass and handled well over 100mph.
