to lower your car you'll need shocks and struts(struts have a mount for your brake line, shocks do not.. that is the difference), springs, and for more than 1.5" drop you'll need a camber kit

Your going to need some DAMN good shocks for those coilovers. I used to have them on my car, so I know from personal experience. I would only use Koni Yellows with those coilovers.

personally i wouldn't suggest coilover sleves.. if you're gonna get coilovers, save up and get the real deal like some tein full coilovers.. sleeves ride like ass

ok.... right now i'm thinking of getting KYB AGX Adjustables, ground control coilovers, and an Eibach Alignment Kit. Is this a good combo?

to install the struts and springs or coilovers are fairly easy, no need to pay someone. i spent 3.5 hrs with my dad helping me half the way for the front and 4.5 hrs for the rear by myself. I'd rather buy the spring compressors off ebay (10 buks) than to rent at kragen. took me 4 hrs to install strut bars also. dont know if you should buy a floor jack set, and the rear camber bolt and washers thing worked pretty well.

My setup:

Neuspeed Sport springs : $150 shipped on ebay
KYB AGX (adjustable) shocks : $330 shipped
Progress Camber Kits : $169

Got the springs and shocks on ebay, camber kits from autodynamic.com
I love my setup, best part of my car besides the exhaust =), putting in a S/T rear sway bar today =)... Just don't get cheap stuff or you'll be very unhappy.
