I want to give my car an agressive look by changing the springs. I also have to drive down a 1/2mile long gravel driveway every day so it can't lower my car more than 1 to 1-1/4 inches. Any suggestions?

Pave your driveway! :D
Just kidding, the Eibach Pro kits will lower your car 3/4” - 1 1/4”
I would also suggest you get better shocks while you are at it, IMO.1996 3.8L V6 Camaro A4 Y87<br />Flowmaster 80 Series<br />LPE Cold Air Induction<br />LPE 1 Piece Aluminum Driveshaft<br />BMR Torque Arm<br />Window Tint 5%/5% Sides/Back<p><a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/adinsx\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/adinsx</a> -

What if I lowered the front 1" and the back 3/4"? That would get rid of the wheel gap and give it a kind of old school muscle car look wouldn't it? Doesn't having the back higher than the front help with transfering horsepower to the ground too?<a href=\"http://community.webshots.com/user/maniacls1\" target=\"_blank\"><b>2001 Firehawk #155 of 504 -M6</b></a><br />437 RWHP / 404 RWTQ -Dynojet (heads/cam)<br />12.34 @114 mph 1.7 60\' (bolt-ons only)<br />12.47 @116 mph 2.0 60\' (street tires, heads/cam)Comment

i'd suggest getting slp eibach springs, they lower the car about .75''. i had mac's on my car before the rksports and they only lowered my car 1''. you couldn't even tell my car was lowered, so i switched them out for the rksport's which lowered me another inch. definitely very noticeable now. i think you'd be happy w/ a bigger drop than 1''.94 Firebird - Red A4<br /> <a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/predatorbird\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/predatorbird</a>Comment

I think you would be happy with normal lowering springs - our cars have a 2.5degree slope from factory as it is. Changing the rear height to front height ratio for looks can be done pretty easily using spring clamps or spring raisers.2002 5-spd NBM Camaro

Raising the rear is great for putting power to the ground...if you have a FWD, like my 88 Olds, but it takes weight off the rear, so you would lose traction. I have spring spacers in the rear of my Olds, and it gets quite a bit better traction than before, while loosening up the car's natural tendency to push in turns. You might not believe it, but the car is hard to beat from stoplight to stoplight.

By the way, I use H&R springs. Love them. they drop it 1.3" in the fron and 1.4" in the rear.\" As being is to becoming, so is pure itellect to opinion, so is science to belief, and understanding to the peception of shadows.\" - PlatoComment
