    If you only want to lower the rear, search the board for the heater hose mod.

        ^^^ That is why you look it up...just because it is called the "heater hose mod".. doesn't mean it deals with the heater....;)

          haha its called the "heater hose mod" All you do is take the spring perch out of the rear springs, and put heater hose over the first coil instead, and it drops the rear about a 1/2".

              Alright, well if your gonna lower it, lower it front and back. It's not gonna be very good having stiff springs in the back and stock up front.

              I have eibach prokit springs, dropped me about an inch and a half, and due to recent posts, I think I'm gonna start looking into switching mine out with eibach sportlines just to go lower.

                so what if ur in a situation like me and your cars stance looks like this??

                Meaning if it made the front and back drop only an inch, my car would look retarted. The front would be still wayyyy lower then the back? my wheel gap in the back is like 4 inches!!

                ANY IDEAS???

                    Where did you find a place that still sells edlebrock springs? I haven't been able to find them for a while but they are a very decent choice. If you just want the car to sit 1" lower, ride decent, and handle OK the hotchkis springs are a good buy. If you want it 1.25" lower great handling but a kinda rough ride the Strano springs are perfect. Don't go with the eibachs unless you want the car to be 1.5" or lower. And which Eibach kit were you thinking of getting? Also get some new shocks. The bilstein HD's are the cheapest I'd recommend, a better choice is the revalved bilsteins from Stranoparts, and the best are Koni's. DON'T get KYB's if you want a quality shock.

                          My car sat the same way as yours, my springs evened it out. I'm sure the aftermarket spring manufacturers take into account that most people will want the car to sit level when its lowered, and mine does now.
