SLP springs might work for you, but in all honesty I would just cut half a coil off your stock springs...

Don't cut your springs if you do not know what you're doing.

a better question might be, has anyone used the springs that can provide feedback?

Those are springs that came in the SLP packages they offered back when. Those are the springs EVERYONE has bought from us when they want that drop.

SLP Eibachs. Everything else that's sold specifically for the F-body is
more drop, as far as I've seen.

Now, if you were up to spec'ing your own springs and getting that
figuring right the first time, you could just order springs by length and
rate, like from Vogtland or whoever. Seen some discussion on FRRAX
way back, but not enough detail for me to go on.

I'm not sure how much the heater hose mod drops the car, but it might be worth looking into since it's a very inexpensive mod and easily reversible.

Heater hose mod out back + cut 1/2 to 3/4 of a coil up front = FREE.

Not all SLP ones - special deal option. If your car came with yellow
shocks originally you probably had those springs too.

Now -1" is a not-terrible ride height either. Hotchkiss and BMR put
you about there. I found the Hotchkiss to be dead even -1" and
that was a less than ideal rake. -1" in front and hose-mod out back,
that's the ticket.
