laying it lower..

Hi, i'm kinda new here (european also), and i was wondering bout some things..hope you all can help me..
I have a '91 Firebird, but i want it to look lower. I don' know if there are any lowering kits that are worth it?
Can i add some ground effects to make it look lower? It's just that i don't want the basic bumpers in that 'wing' style..
Anyone?

thanks and greets from Belgium

well since no one replied i thought i would first off there are many kits most likely the best for you due to some euro countries want a special safety deal with springs i would go with eibach sportline springs that will lower it nicely also you could upgrade to formula body graffix as well

Those eibach sportline's, how much lower are they?

And i have seen the original firebird kit, but i'm not in love with it. Isn't there a more 'camaro looking' kit available?
(i've also seen the ferrari looking kit by the way.. )
anyone else knows lowering kits or ground effects?
thanks

You can put the stock Camaro kit on a Firebird. There's a few people on here that have done it with great results.

Also, check out this thread for a slightly different idea.
