Lowering Springs & Struts Question

Here's the low down. I drive a 2006 SS/SC with 57,000 miles on it.


I was recently in an accident (got broad sided) and my car is in the shop. I looked the car over trying to figure out what all needed to be replaced and while doing so I noticed I needed new springs. I've wanted to lower my car for awhile now but didn't want to buy new springs while my stock ones were still good.

The roads where I live are a bit bumpy and I already scrape every now and then so I'm not looking for a dramatic drop but I would like to be able to see thedifference haha. Also, I figured while I'm at it I might as well replace the struts.

I need some suggestions here.


Thanks in advance.

On a SS/SC I want to say about .75 front, 1.25 rear... I know it is in that range... The only thing is Pedders are on backorder, or atleast the last time I checked.
