springs out of any camaro 86-92 will ower the car about 1 inch with increased spring rate . take the front sway bar & steering box too while you're at it . look for an iroc or preferabley a convertible v8 car .

you can also use springs from coil over shocks too. Just the spring you dont have to have the shock.

Local speed chassis shops will have them in different spring rates for around 60$

jerry bickel's in st louis has them (Moscow mills)

about 140# to almost completely tuck the tire
