lowering a WS6
So I'm thinking of lowering my 2002 Trans Am WS6. I kinda want to gain a more agressive stance with a little more performance. I dont really want to drop it way down. I'm kinda thinking around the 1 - 1 1/2 inch range. What brand of springs would any of you recomend? any any other input on this.

I don't.
Seen a few cars sitting on them though.
Actually considered them myself....even though I am on ProKit springs already. I just happen to really like my current stance.
But the Strano springs look great as well.2008 Trailblazer SS

Then does anybody know for sure Can you just replace the stock springs with lowering springs and be done? Or do you need to change other parts to?

You can.
But that will kill off the stock shocks in no time.

Just put my Eibach pro kit on today... mine came with the bilsteins on it already and it feels pretty good, just changed the springs out and aligned it.

Hey lucky
So, how does it ride with the new springs? Can you tell a big change in the corners? Nose dive under braking?

shocks is what sucks in our cars... if you gonna change anything, change the shocks.
You can keep stock springs, and still lower car w/ Koni SA due to 2 perch locations.Eugenio_SS

yeah... but gives no performance and handling indication whatsoever... although some would think that less dive = better handling... it doesn't
