I have an 00GT vert. I want to lower it slightly 3/4"-1" , but want to retain as much of the stock ride quality as possible. I'm happy with the way the car handle's and ride's. All I want to lower it for is look's only.

What do I look for in spring rate's ect... or is that not even important ??
I noticed FRPP has spring's available. "B" , "C" ect... also see Steeda sport's & Eibach's ......I'm confused and need help. I want to get my ordering done and part's here so as soon as the weather get's nice I can start installing stuff.

I have an 00 vert as well. I installed the Eibach Pro Kit springs and got a nice drop, but not so severe as to affect ride quality. Just a better stance. Might be an option for you, man.

To keep it simple, you could go with these:

They're specific to the 'verts, with a different rate for the rears. The price is comparable to the other brands, too.

I have Steeda Sports, and they lowered it perfectly. You'll get 1-1.25" drop out of them, which is perfect for our cars.
