i've herd SSCs or DNAs for lowering springs, and for struts; GXP (which will slightly lift the car, but are blisten) or GR2s

^ Correct.
Springs/struts/strut mounts/pogo washers/ spacers and reuse your stock strut boot on the new struts.

You can get the antipogo washers from the Wbody store or ZZP (though I hate supporting either of those companies haha). The antipogo washers are actually just subframe/engine cradle washers so if you really wanted to you can snag some in the junkyard or the dealership.
