Lowering my 4x4 camaro I'm down to about 3000 lbs and i can fit 4 fingers between the front tires and fender and 5 in the rear. I'm going to pull another 150 out and it just sits too high. I just bought a used eibach pro lowering kit and have not installed it yet. My car is full Bolton lt1 m6 and on et streets with a 1.84 60' I have a best of 12.53 at 110.33 with stock gears in the 10 bolt. I just want the car to sit at stock height and not lose performance at the track or on autocross. With lca relo brackets will I be fine? Or should I suck it up and keepthe 4x4 look?

Posting again from a comp so my sig shows up, also the car is purely a toy now, only drives to and from the the 1/4 mile, and every now and then for spirited cruises down twisty backroads.

Yea but that still leaves the front sitting way up high. I just want the damn thing to look like stock again without doing double adjustable afcos and losing my corner carving ability.
Coilovers! 
Or weight jacks
here's a link: http://www.ground-control-store.com/...tion.php/II=21
Looking at the link, looks like your best bet is a coilover kit since that's all they offer, however dropping the $420 bucks for the complete kit isn't too shabby at all considering they'll work with your bilsteins and you can get whatever spring rate you want

Take your oe springs out and cut them till you like it. Your car will be better overall that way. Or pick a lowering spring that has a rate that will work with the stock shock valving.
ex. on how cutting your spring will change it's rate.
If your coil has 10 coils on it, you cut 1 coil off you have increased your spring rate by 10%.
Don't be scared to cut on stock springs.
