Default lowering question.

I just lowered my LS1 T\A with granatelli springs and bilsteins. Granatelli claimed 1.25" in front and back...its more of a 2" front and 1"back. I can live with the front...its looks really cool tucks in my ARE200 really nice. The rear on the other hand is still to high for my taste. I would like to go about 1"lower. I have heard of removving the rubber top spring mount thing...don't know what its called, and using a hose on spring. What do you guys recommend? Anyone done this? How much drop did you see? Anyone also running Granatelli springs?

Help appreciated.

Rick
