Default Lowering springs for my 1997 GT

I have a 1997 GT and I am considering getting some lowering springs. So my question is, will lowering the car 1" with some eibach springs, or steeda springs. http://www.americanmuscle.com/stspspagtand.html or some http://www.americanmuscle.com/eibach...nvertible.html.
Will is screw up my geometry or anything? And will I have to upgrade my struts along with my springs? I want to be able to do the springs and struts seperately. eventually I would like to buy all the suspension mods, struts, control arms, anit-roll bars... But in the mean time I want to improve my handling and do it in cheap little bits and pieces.

Let me know what I should do and wheather or not I will need some new struts, or other things. Thanks.

I'd go more than an 1", I first had the Steeda sports and after a year it looked way too high to me, sometimes it looks stock... well not stock, but like it could be stock.
