dont bother with LCA brackets, as they do not help with daily driving (they only benefit straight line launches)

If its "bouncing" around, that is usually a shock issue. I also heard eibach LS1 springs are poop

What's a good lowering spring then. I want something that lowers like 1-1.2 I don't wanna drop a lot but just little but it also would need to ride good. Because I think I drop maybe 1 maybe little more

Bunch of good spring options, however Stranos and BMR both have quality springs that have an advertised drop around 1.2". It would be ideal to run Koni shocks with those springs, however Bilsteins are an acceptable alternative.

either your shocks are bad or your springs are sportlines which drive like crap. My .02
