Default Lowering springs (6th gen montes)

Hello, I'm looking to lower my 2000 Monte Carlo SS. I'm not sure what kind of springs I should get. I've been looking at either the zzp brand springs but they only offer about a 1' drop all around. Then I was looking at SCC springs/canuckmotorsports springs which offer about 1.7 in the front and 1.5 in the rear. I was leaning more towards the SCC ones because I want a bigger drop. But I was messing around on eBay and saw two different kinds of springs offering the same drop rate as the SCC ones for almost half the price. Now I think it's kind of too good to be true. And I've herd that people haven't had luck with eBay springs. The two brands I was looking at from eBay were "speed stars" and "ko speed". I'll put links to all of the springs. But what I'm asking is do the eBay springs work, do they actually give you the drop they advertise? And does anyone know of anyone who's used these springs or have used them their self?

I wouldn't bother with ebay springs. I've heard too many complaints that they don't lower to their advertised drop specs; rears are more of the problem. You're spending money for a significant modification; spend a little bit more to do it right with good parts... you're talking spending another $90, not $500.

I would recommend the Canucks (SSC). I'm running them on my 06 and I really like them; great ride quality, nice amount of drop and appearance.
