I want to lower my car asap. My question is what springs lower the car the least? (I have a 89 colt GT) I know eibach makes the prokit which drops the car 1 inch. Will that kit work on our cars? I'm looking for smallest drop possible hopefully around one inch. I'm planning on getting koni shocks and doing everything at once. Any other info on springs would be very helpful. Thanks.

use 1g FWD prokit springs.
My friend just put them in his grand am and they gave about a 1.3 inch drop, it looks good. I thought it wouldn;t be enough to make it look dropped but it did, looks good.
Other kits drop the car atleast 2'
unless you go with berserko set up, the Ground controls and Koni's. Hes got nothing but good thing to say about that set up.

Yup had them on 7 months no complaints.. All i can say is they weren't designed for a northern climate the set screw seazes very quickly to keep them loose i open and close the set screw once a month and you have to keep the collars pretty clean other than that awesome...

Have you tried Neverseize or similar product on the set screw? (I have some GC's and Koni's on order. Got the front GC's, but have not received the Koni's :wink: 'Course Tony,with GC, said to send the Koni rear to him to be sure of the rear fitment. (More time.) Tony said to use 325 lb spring.
