I think depending on how low you go you may need shorter axles.
I remember my buddy lowered his s10 by just cutting 21/2 coils out of the springs. It rode greatnot really.

if you can find spring blockers from the gto and put in the back springs that should help level it out. you can also lower the front and get new stock springs for the rear. don't know how many miles on the stock springs you have now but im sure probably already sag little bit. lmao it's funny i used to have 2 sets of the blockers and trying to sell them and no one interest. now a year later there's always someone looking for something at one time i was dying to get rid of.

they the red pieces. i think the G8 might have them too. i have not follow up with the 3800 scene for quite sometime now so im not up to date on what else everyone is using but as far as i know the blockers are still the budget mod that most are still doing.
