We have three bushes in need of trimming. Two are lilacs - I know that I can trim them off at ground level and they'll grow back just fine. The third is a spirea - specifically a Snowball Bush. Anyone know if I can safely do the same thing to it?

I wouldn't mess with the lilac at this time of year and I would never cut one down "to ground level".

The best time to trim a lilak is at the time of year mishalak mentioned.
