Which lowering springs are best for our cars?

I've decided to pick up a set of lowering springs and I don't know which to choose. I'm hoping one of you will be able to help me make the decision.

Here are the choices I know of so far.

Eibach Pro kit
Eibach Sport Line
BMR
HOTCHKIS
G2 Super springs

Keep in mind that I'm going to be installing my LT's this weekend so I'd like to have some ground clearance (The pro kit might lower the car too much)

Any pic's would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry 'bout all the newb questions, I just want to make sure I have all the inforrmation I need before I make the purchase.

Ps. Just wondering. I know you reduce straight line traction with lowering springs because ther's not that much weight tranfer with the stiff springs but if I already had a completely upgraded suspension, would I have problems with traction after the lowering springs? What's the ride quality like after lowering springs are installed?

I run DMS springs with no problems or clearance issues.

I would not buy any "Slowering" springs.

Sorry that was a typo.

Can no one reccomend me a good set of springs? I find it hard to believe with so many fbody owners here. I'm sure at least some of you have a reccomendation.

These DMS springs, where can I get more info on the fbody application?

heh heh, on a more serious note, I have the Eibachs, and would recommmend them. The improvement they made on the car is awesome. Handling, and feel. Overlal just feels so much sportier.
