Coilovers well work nicely like cutt said. But if you wanna go cheaper you could get the tein s-tech's. Theyll cost you about $160 and its like a 1.8 drop but they work with your stock shocks. Or.... you could get new springs and shocks.

With coilover you can raise them up and down and adjust them how you want.

Will it rub if i have 17in wheels and all?..the lowering will not make it rub will it?..and once these are put on..the lip kit will be here..whoo ..do they have good lip kits for the back..or do you put on a stock bumper or body kit?...im lost there

there you go....a set of tein s-tech will run you about $160 and its like a 1.8 drop but they work with your stock shocks and you dont need a camber kit..here are 2 links from people that have already installed them on here, myself and mynmisoli ... < i have this typed out because so many people ask the quesion
