I had the sportlines and loved them. Might want some relocation brackets also for the lower comtrol arms. Once I put the headers in with the 3" y-pipe, I now have the factory springs in.

sportlines, kyb agx shocks, relocation bracket, and a NON adjustable torque arm
bought it lowered, added the torque arm, and nobody thought i'd be able to hook up.....stock 16's, nitto 555rs(245 or 250, can't remember) and a 12.5 @112 with a 1.87 60'......i was gonna change it back to higher springs, but i like how it looks now and it handles fine........
it's even lower than the lowered neon!

One of the members of this board stated on a thread " why bother to lower our cars.... just put some big *** tires on it" sometimes I wonder about what he said because I've scraped the **** out of my T/A on speed bumps and driveways and it prevented me from getting LTs.
I also saw a 2001 Camaro SS that wasn't lowered and it had some huge tires on that baby and it looked mean as hell.
You will slam it, most of us do

I agree that older school muscle should have that muscular, beefy stance (ie....stock), but the 4th gens are modern street machines that beg to be "lowered".
Oh, and....

It's your car, do what you want to do, if others don't like it, f**k em!
Personally I like my current setup. I have Hotchkins springs on the front & stockers on the back so it's raked & I have 18" x 9.5 silver Y2K C5 wheels on my Silver TA. I'm just picked up drag lites tonite so the raked look with the drag lites should give it that old school stance! Can't wait to bolt em on....just gotta grind down the calipers first.
