Get coil overs, adjustable.

If coil overs are in your budget they are the ideal way to lower your car. That being said there is nothing wrong with lowering springs. You will not have any rubbing issues with either.

Wouldn't go more that 1 1/4" or your ride quality will suffer too much.

Like Chase said, it really all depends on your budget. A quality set of coilovers are the "ultimate" set-up....if you can afford about 10x the cost of springs!!!! If you just want an aggresive stance, a slightly firmer ride, but don't necessarily need the dampening adjustability, then a good set of drop springs will definitely meet your goals. If you're not looking for the "slammed" look, then I would recommend our 1.0" springs (SP019), or our new 1.25" springs (SP077) which we will be releasing within the next week.

Whether or not it will rub, will depend completely on your wheel offsets. If you want to post them, I can let you know whether or not you have anything to worry about.
Like the others have said, coilovers are the best way to go if it fits the budget, but springs may be a good option as well. Depends on what you are really wanting out of the car. Quote:

1" lowering springs.
I just lowered my Camaro with Eibach Springs. Now the car bounces and dips on the road. What should I do stop this from happening?
