Default SLP springs

Hi,

I want to close some fender gap, about 3/4" or 1" MAX on my 2001 WS6.
1. Are WS6 springs the same as non WS6 springs?

2. If I lower my car by 1", will I be okay on my stock shocks, and will I need an adjustable PHR?

I looked at SLP springs, and they say 'up to a 1" drop'.
3. Are there any others springs out there that drop less than 1"?

Thanks for the help.

Just be careful what your buying and really figure out what exactly your getting. I believe right now the package that SLP gives out is just an LS1 Eibach prokit, but I'm not really completely sure. Someone can correct me on that if they want. If it's the prokit, it may lower the car a lot more than 1 inch.
