My cars shocks are like brand new. I thought you said you could give get coilover sleeves?

Stock shocks cannot withstand being lowered. They will probably blow out in 6 months. I didn't say you couldn't get coilover sleeves... I said "you'll need aftermarket shocks that can handle being lowered" too though.

Your options are coilover sleeves and aftermarket shocks, or full coilovers. Those buddy club coilovers are actually a good deal... I don't know of full coilovers any cheaper.... EDIT: These are a little cheaper, but the buddy clubs are probably a lot better. http://inlinefour.com/bldrproseco.html Buddy Club > Blox

Ya i know ill prob. end up paying that money because it will be worth it in the long run. and would a lip kit still look good without the car being lowered yet?

Sure. Lowered will look even better, but it will look fine not lowered.

I have a set of coilovers on my car, I ended up paying $550 shipped. However, I also got rear lower control arms ($100) and a rear camber kit ($80) at the same time to bang it all out at once.
