also if your so broke and you get those ebay springs then adjust the coilovers to be as high as posible until you have enough saved up for a 4wheel alignment... about thats about typicaly 50-80bucks... but its ALOT CHEAPER THAN 4 NEW TIRES!! the more you drop it the more the toe will be off and the worst it will eat your tires!

some shocks that can handle the drop, and an alignment.

your stock shocks will last a little while, so save your money while they are lasting and buy some KYB AGX's (least expensive shocks that can handle 2.75" drop that i know of)

yea but don't. take it to a shop.

spend the extra money and get a lifetime alignment. this way, you can get it aligned unlimited times and only pay the one time fee (it's like $100).

This way, you can go get an alignment when you get the new springs, and then go get another alignment when you get new shocks, without having to pay again.
