You'll definetely need a camber kit.

If you get the lipkit (which you should) and REALLY want it painted, you can do it yourself for about 40 bucks if you want to do it right.

I paid about 400 for my lowering springs and new struts... why not just get new struts while you're changing your springs?

I agree sell the Body Kit and get more cash buy a full suspension kit and put that on with the lip. If your gonna bypass the whole suspension and only buy springs to put on your stock shocks then. Buythe Eibach sport set for your car. Its a mild drop you get the look you want and speed bumps and parking entry points are less of a pain in the butt!!!

ok so i did my reasearch and now i have decided to get the GC Coilover with my stock struts for a month or so....
and when i get my next paycheck, then buy the Koni struts to go with GC.
And of course buy the lip stuff too...
I dont think i be buying the rear lip just yet, instead i will just get the front and sides for now and paint em myself.

I will install the coilover by myself too, so i will save some labour cost...
