I am looking for information from the net on lowering my 94. 

Basic Parameters - I will be keeping it on stock '94 alloy's, with 185/60's for
right now.  Possible upgrade to 205/50/15 in the far (1-2 year) future. (after
I borrow some and try them for ride with the new suspension)

Topics of interest include:
                                                             
* Basic methods of, and reactions to, lowering the car.  

	-Is there one way, or multiple options?   (short springs vs.
		modified spring platform locations?) 

	-Limitations?   (i.e. one inch doesn't affect geometry, 1.5 does)

* Vendor Options
	
	-Any comments/experiences/detailed install stories would be appreciated

* Install specifics

	- Tools, methods, gotcha's (which spring compresser works best, etc..)

* Fallout from changeover

	- All the other suspensions stuff that really should be changed when 
		you do the springs...		


E-mail, or post to list if this hasn't been hashed over a million times
already.

Thanks,
