Anyway I can upgrade springs WITHOUT lowering the car?
I have an 02 Firebird, going to be adding a bit of power in the future and I want it to hook up. However I scrape enough as is with the stock height and I can't imagine going any lower. Is there any way I can get some traction and better springs without lowering?

Lowering is not required to get power to the ground. In fact if you only lower you will increase wheel hop and lose traction. to get the power on the road start out with an aftermarket set of lower control arms. Lower control arm relocation brackets will help move your instant center back and give you even more traction. Next at the very least get a poly torque arm mount, better to just get an aftermarket torque arm. Good shocks will help as well.

Thats where the springs would help you. But, aftermarket sway bars, subframe connectors, and a strut tower brace will make an amazing difference in cornering. Again, good shocks and tires on all four corners too.
Edit: actually subframe connectors are almost a must, do them before anything else.

You could get like Hotchkis springs, they only lower your car like an inch or so I think. The biggest improvement from springs is actually from the spring rate, not the amount they lower the car. I bet someone makes springs that don't lower the car if you look.
