My my drop springs have the front of my car sitting far to low, with front wheels slightly tucked under the fender. I would like to raise the front by around 3/4-1" and just have the top of the tire nearly flush with the fender lip.

Is anyone running a particular type of spacer up front? and if so where can I get them? Also can V6 front springs give the desired height?

I would either get some moogs cut them down to height. ( a search will help you find the part #'s for the different stock spring options)

or just get a nice set of aftermarket springs. for a street car i would go with eibach. Check out the Official Lowered thirdgens thread in this section. It is great for seeing how these cars look on all the different aftermarket springs.

Circle track companies sell them. They're pretty cheap. Around $20. You can get threaded ones for the rear. Around $20.

Many are of the cut to length type. So you can just measure what length you want to raise the car and cut them that thick.

I would suggest not wasting time on aftermarket lowering springs. You're never going to be completely happy with them unless you get lucky. Go with a Ground Control Weight Jack setup or just cut factory stuff... or what you have.

I agree with you IV. I love my weight jacks, I don't think there is a better option, but for the price The_Wraith could get two sets of aftermarket springs.

That's exactly it, if you buy one aftermarket set of lowering springs and you're not happy with them, and you eventually end up buying another set, you would have been better off with weight jacks from the start.
