Johan,
I am going with the Eibach EIB-3848-120 which are for 'Chevrolet/Pontiac: 1967-1969 262-400 Camaro/Firerbird' on my 1969 Camaro. They are designed for a 1" Lowering, slightly stiffer sportier spring. Picture below of what they look like with 17" rims
Best price I have found is $114 at tmengineering.net
$114 from http://www.tmengineering.net/suspension/brands/eibach/make/pontiac.html
$130 at summit

Based upon my research on this site as well as much information from Carl C, David Pozzi and Chicane67 I would highly recommend the use of either the landrum or afco spring adjusters. In the past I used to cut a coil, install, check ride height and adjust accordingly. As you have seen, it is real easy to cut too much. With the adjusters you can tailor the height of the front end as necessary. I will be putting my front end together within a few weeks once I get my car back from the body shop, so I can provide updates if you are interested.
The setup I chose for my 67 was Hypercoil springs (650 rate), afco adjusters, stock sway bar, Koni shocks and DelAlum bushings. I'm not interested in carving corners, but based upon my research, this should not be too harsh for street driving.
Good luck.
Rich

hey brian, those one inch springs, did they only drop it one inch or was it a little more? What size tires are those? your car looks great and has the stance I am looking for and also what is the ride like?

Dusty that is not my car, although I plan to get my car to that level.
1" Drop in front using those Eibach springs.
Front tires/rims are
17X7.5 American Racing Torq Thrust II's with 235/40 series Yokohama's
Website for that car is HERE (http://www.pro-touring.com/featured_cars/Camaro/1967_Camaro/Chris_and_Ashley_Flatmoe_Camaro/chris_and_ashley_flatmoe_67_camaro.htm)
