Default Lowering Springs

Hey guys, so i can't find anywhere in this section solely just for lowering springs. After I get my exhaust setup completely done, i'm moving on to something else. That would be lowering springs. The kind that I want would be like to lower it so it's got an aggressive look to it. I'm dont live in a bumpy are or anything like that, and what's also great is that I dont have the ground effects package. I would like Aprrox 2" front and 1.5" rear....something along those lines. Now I understand that I'll need shorter dogbones and i'm going to definitely get the anti-pogo washers along with stiffening up my suspension (GMPP Suspension Kit). Do you guys know any springs that are around that? I believe the Eibach one's are 1.7 front, 1.5 rear.

Just throwing this out their, your monte is pretty beastly bro and sexy. Anyways, back to the topic lol you already have the SS ground effects package on their which makes it look lowered more than stock anyways, something that I dont have. BTW, what are the lowering measurements on them? Can you remember?

Hey MonteLS Your Monte is no slouch either, nice to see your mods coming along bro. The Eibachs dropped my front 1.5" and the rear 1". Then I run less air 25 psi in the front tires for better grip foot print and keep the rear at 35 psi. Probably another 1/2" offset at 1/4" on front lower and 1/4" on rear higher. Nice appearing Monte on your side too, bet you get your share of ladies when your out LATE on a Friday night.....

Thanks lol and dont kid yourself on that last bit of being out late at night either haha. I was honestly thinking of getting these lowering springs:

Sprint Performance Lowering Springs- -00-05 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

I've never heard of them before so I googled them to see any reviews. I found some pretty good reviews on people that they've installed on their Acura TSX I believe, GTP's, and their's a forum full of great comments on them installed on a Pontiac G6. The specs are 1.70 (almost 1 and 3/4") and the rear 1.5" (1 1/2"). That's around where I want my baby to sit, so i'm going to go with those. But before I buy that, I'm going to order a set of anti-pogo washers and shorter dogbones.
