Default droping the car, what do I need?

Hey guys,

Im thinking about droping my rear end of the car a couple inches and was wondering what all I need. Do I get springs or coilovers. The front end of the car was already dropped when I bought it, they cut the springs. Also, do I need struts or what?
Thanks!
Andrey

do it all. just get a setup like the Tein basic or SS. or the Tokico Illumina Rs. that will solve all of your problems. and look into a camber kit too.

Thanks for the info. Camber kit wise, I found a couple on ebay, would these work, and is it all that I need?

those would work, but thats not the best design, id go with the Skunk2 style ones, such as Omnipower or Blox. it replaces the whole upper control arm, its a better design, and its easier to adjust. try these.Skunk2
