I'd start off with just a set of Eibach lowering springs and see if you're happy with that. I did that on my car in the driveway with the car on jackstands.
The method depends on the drop you're looking for and the ride quality...budget too.
My preferred method is drop spindles, drop shocks, and lowering springs for the rear. You're looking at spending about $500 this way. If you're looking at a proper air ride system, shoot for $2K+.
Then there's the ultimate budget way of cutting your springs. You'll eventually blow out your shocks and the car will ride like crap anyway. Some may beg to differ.
You know what they say about opinions though!

no cutting springs either, i rather do it right the first time then have it be a pain in the *ss the second time
and i also plan on doing this drop with 20's
the tire size is 245/30/20
I think you'll be good as long as you have your backspacing set-up properly. Wheels and backspacing aren't my area of expertise though

Then I retract my recomendation. I thought you were using normal sized wheels. I don't see how a car with huge wheels are going to fit under a G-body ( without rubbing ) without some serious mods.
