With lowering springs. Eibach, Hotchkis, BMR, and other companys make them. You can find them from various venders in the sponsor section.

Or you can cut 1 coil off. That lowers it almost 2".

Or you can get shocks with threaded bodies, movable spring seat height, and convert the rear shocks to a "coil over" setup (the fronts are already coil-over).

The springs can be changed out when you get new shocks installed [best time to do it] and it doesn't cost that much for a mechanic to do it since it's an everyday thing.

Re: How to lower a 94 z28?

I would never recommend cutting coils on a spring. It will change the spring rate to some unknown higher factor and may make the ride very harsh. If you choose a poor method of cutting, it can compromise the strength of the spring. You don't want to take chances with things that involve control of your vehicle.
