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.

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
