RE: How low should i lower?
ok I am not sure what brand kit the guy who owned this before me put on it but he lowered it 2" in the front and 1 7/8" in the rear... honestly I would have only done a 1" because it seems a tad to low for me, but eh whatever it handles great

1.5 inches. H&R makes 2 inch drop, FRPP, Steeda, DZSport, Eibach, to name a few. Different drops depending. I have the DZSports poly isolators, so my drop was significantly less. About 1 in the rear and maybe 1/2 up front. I hoping it will settle more over time.
Don't forget, you will need an alignment at a minimum. I would recommend C&C plates, bumpsteer kit, or aluminum offset rack bushings to correct steering geometry. Many companies make these parts, including FRPP and Steeda.
Best of luck to you.

Get a 1.5 drop its not too low and it looks alot better, but if you want a drag suspension go for 4cyl fox springs up front and Fox 8cyl springs out back, i think that will lower it also

Eibach Sportlines is my fav. The Pro-kit lowers less and it's like why bother unless you live on crappy roads or something. I have not had any probs with the Sportlines in the St. Louis, Illinois corn fields, nor northwest arkansas areas. Have to use common sense when you are in a GT anyway. My friend drives a C5 vette and his is so much lower OEM than my Sportlines. He scrapes over mouse droppings!
