Alkemist I am thinking about getting These: http://www.americanmuscle.com/n-springs-0511-v6.html . Idk If I would need any extra parts to install those or what but it seems like a good drop under 1.5" . And whoah thank you but now the sig is wayyy too big haha.
Kevin, Already been through that whole situation lol. I got the BBK CAI with a larger filter.

You will need to use a photo editor to adjust the size of the pic, then upload again. I would take it down. It's way to big right now.

I've thought about lowering 1.25" before but never pulled the trigger on it. If anything I might do 1.5". Some say you might not really see too much of a difference with 1.25".

Lowering these cars is very easy and can be done in your driveway in about 3-4 hours, a convertible is a little harder to do because there are some bars in the back that stop the axle going down the way it needs. But no big deal.

Do you have to have alot of auto-knowledge to be able to do that?? I'm just an amateur with cars.

No, just some basic tools and spring compressor.

Its dirt simple to do man...it truly is. You just need probably 3 wrenches, some cheap spring compressors (you can "rent" a set from autozone or they are like 40 bucks at sears), and you need a jack and jack stands. Look at Taco Bills pics...

When you do it, just make sure the springs are seated all the way to the stops.

If it was me, I wouldnt go any lower than the Steeda kits take you...mine hit every once in a blue moon...with the steeda's

I prefer the steedas since they are linear spring rates, better for predictable handling but a bit stiffer for daily driving. 1.25 drop is plenty and makes a huge differance. As far as the spoiler, check out the spoiler store on ebay for the GT500 clone. Cheap, great quality and looks better than the stock GT or V6. Again its pretty easy to install the springs yourself, just take you time and follow the directions. Save the money for other mods and enjoy wrenching on your car.

+1 and there you go. If you can turn a wrench then you can change out your springs.
