thanks guys. Went ahead and ordered some kyb agx shocks and H&R springs(1.75" F/1.5" R drop). I know to get an alignment done, anything else I should know about?

yeah, if you live up north, then plan on replacing broken bolts and perhaps bushings.

sweeeeet, i have the exact same setup. The handling is amazing. You'll probably want to set the stiffness on the shocks to "2" for a good mixture of comfort and handling.
