So i have two questions. The first question is where could i get lowering springs to do a 2.5-3.5 inch drop. I can only find spring that will only do a 1.5 drop and i just got super low profile tires on and im not digging the look. The second question i have is where would i hook a trans temp gauge up on the tranny. i want to have a guage for it cause ive been having problems with the tranny and i want to make sure it doesnt get to hot. Thanks very appreciated!

To get that low you will need dropped spindles/knuckles and 1" lowering springs for the front.
See: http://streetdreamsbyross.com/dropknuckles.php
And West Coast Fiero rear coil-over kit (1984 - 1988) for the rear.
See: (the second item down with the red springs) http://www.westcoastfiero.com/suspension/coilovers.html
As for the trans temp sensor, You could cut the output line for the trans cooling lines flare each end and install a "T". Then you hook up the lines and the sensor.
The other option (which is what I did when I was running an automatic and racing autoX) is to install a larger cooler in the area behind the door and in front of the rear tire and hook the sensor into the new line. The cooler I used was:

I also added a side scoop to improve air flow. Here is what it looks like installed:
Since I swapped out the automatic for a manual, I now use the cooler for the engine oil and this also made it easy to install a remote oil filter.
