Lowering an Iroc...
It needs to be lower. Does anyone have NOTICEABLE pics of their Iroc lowered?
What kind of springs did you use, I'm not to happy with the outcome of Eibach, Has anyone used Intrax springs(In Summit catalogue).
Are they any good. Did anyone cut their springs? I heard that was bad. How did you do it.

I don't know if this helps, considering what you said about Eibach, but my friend lowered his 86 IROC (I believe it's an 86) with Eibach 1" lowering springs, and his ride is fine...lowered stance is noticeable and he doesn't really scrape the front fascia that much more than he usually did :P

I went with Spring Performance spings. They were the only with the lowest drops for my Vert. I beleive Eibach made them, but their drop was only 1" and I wanted it lower. The Sprint Performance springs gave me a 1.75" front drop and 1.5" rear drop.
As for the ride, it was great at first, but as time went by I noticed how rough it is. Its gotten to the point where I don't enjoy driving my car and trips longer than an hour become tough I really need to get some suspenion upgrades. I beleive i'll be going with KYB AGX's. All I want is a smooth as silk ride, so the adjustable's might be a bit much.
