I need a inch drop all around and i want them to improve my handling as much as just having springs can.

 

I can't answer your question. However, there is a lot of information missing from your post:

Why do you "need" a drop?
What do you want to "improve" about your handling? Do you have too much understeer, oversteer, body roll??

It sounds like you have not yet spent the time to figure out what you want (other than looks??). I wouldn't touch the suspension on this car until I did my research first.

 

a 1" drop isn't gonna improve handling.

Our ride high is just about perfect as far as the suspension geometry goes. .5 - .75" tops. Any more and you're degrading handling.

If you just want to be lower, check out the KG/mm springs.

 

Ground control and Comptech both sell adjustable perches. You can get any spring rate (with in reason) and lower the car as much or as little (with in a small range) while still having the ability to corner balance with your weight accounted for. The only problem with aftermarket springs is that you cannot adjust the ride height. payneinthe watched me struggle at BW as I 'raised' my ride height so it was ~0.75" lower than stock.

The car feels awesome now.
Camber is -2.0 F/-2.5 R.
I had it cornerweighted with me in the car. The new rears are waiting for Reno
All I need now is a front swaybar.

 

i want the car a little lower but want ot get better all around handling as well. What should i get that is not over 600?

 

Lowering the car by itself isn't really going to make any real difference in handling.

 

For $600 you can get a set of Koni yellows with stock springs. You will be able to lower the height 1/2" from the c-clamp on the shock body. Save yourself the trouble and get some coilovers down the road. Lowering the car for looks with springs will make you miserable. The stock shocks will fade sooner with aftermarket springs and you will need replacements for them. Get a matched set of springs and shocks or get some grippier tires to increase the handling.

 

If you lower the car .5 inches on koni's with stock springs, does it degrade the konis at all? How does handling improve?
