How would you go about this? I want to get strano springs but they just don't lower it enough. I want the eibach sportline stance but in a package that could handle well and is still an actual upgrade. I basically want the tire to fender gap no bigger than 1". I still daily drive it in the summer, and I want to do some open track days/HPDE stuff this year...

if you still want a gap then that is not slammed.. i had sportlines on my camaro and then cut a tad more off and i had no more then 1/8th inch of gap.. i know jonny (superman09) had sportlines i beleive on his trans am..

The only way you are going to achieve what you are looking for is with coil overs I believe.
The spring rates are terrible especially for ride quality and handling when dropping that low. No one makes a spring for what you are looking for. Definitely check out coil overs

^^ that's EXACTLY how I want it to sit (edit: actually I want it a tad lower). Just don't want to lose a lot my suspension travel and sacrifice handling.Comment

No such thing as a lowering kit that doesn't lose suspension travel. Sometimes you can't alway have your cake and eat it.
I'm not going to push or prop my setup. It rides quite firm but at the same time isn't harsh or jarring.
What it lacks in ride it more then makes up for in handling and performance, and that was my primary goal.CraigSemi Retired Street Racer2012 Lava Red Mustang GT 5.0 MT82GONE BUT NOT FORGOTEN

Just trying to figure out other ways of dropping instead of just lowering springs. Like what was mentioned above there's drop spindles and drop control arms. Is anyone using these?
I could do coil overs up front but what about the rear?Comment

I have sport lines and its a 1 /3/4 inch drop the car looks good but its impossible to go certain places Cus my y pipe hits and it gets pulled off my long tubes and I'm running 18 inch wheels .sigpic1997 firehawk # 115 6 speed. Its just a little ole LT1Comment

drop control arm? how does that work on a strut type suspension. lowering with springs changes suspension geometry. spindles dont, and also dont loose travel. the rears can be fixed by using relocation bracketComment
