Default Z24 springs in a wagon body?

New here so thanks for having me. We have a 1994 cavalier rs wagon with a 3 1l motor. Put fully assembled quick struts in the front a couple years ago and hate the ride quality. I am thinking of putting together a better setup myself and having my buddies shop swap them in. My question is can I assemble them with a Z24 spec spring? The standard seems to be around a 500 lb. Spring rate. I have two options for improved or stiffer springs. One is 650lbs and will drop it one inch. The.other is around 800lbs and will drop about 2 inches. There seems to be plenty of space for the lowering but will they be able to align it to a decent spec without burning tires. Is there enough adjustment available to get it where it needs to be? Just trying to upgrade the ride and hopefully add some performance? Thoughts and suggestions? Thanks fam
