Unfortunatly I don't know much about what you need to know, somebody else here might reply with what you want, but if you haven't already, you might try asking in the 'suspension' section. I don't thing V8 and V6 suspensions are too terribly different. (springs I'm pretty sure are different )

Why not just try some low profile tires to start off with. See how much you scrape & go from there. Around here you could easily knock a hole in your oil pan.

I would not lower it unless you are a real careful driver and you only race on smooth flat pavement.

Now if your like most of us, racing is done at every stop light and city streets can be very unkind to a lowerd car. espically the right lane, which tends to get rough.

Do you have a strut brace yet? frame rail connectors? do you have a rese trailer hitch?

all 3 will really stiffen up the car and make it handle. I see no reason to lower any sports car unless its made for show and no go.
