What's your budget? that's the first important question. not only do you need lowering springs/struts/shocks or coil over kits. you're going to want a camber kit with adjustable toe otherwise you'll need new tires more than you think

secondly there's a huuuge difference between an inch and 2 inches. I was lowered almost 2 inches and it was awesome. bit a huuuuuuge pain around any speed bumps, and forget getting into parking lots.

it all depends on what your willing to sacrifice. so I recommend thinking about a less general amount of drop and narrowing it down, and we can help you from there.

I think im gonna go with a 1 inch drop. i not crazy about about cambering the car but if thats what i need to do then i will as long as i dont have to go to negative. I perfer to do it the correct way so i really dont have a budget as of now. I was thinking coilovers or lowering springs. Which would be the best bet? What brand would i need? Basically what everything i need lol

Also do i need to roll my fenders ?

Eibach pro kit if you don't feel like shelling out 1k for coils, but you may want to think about replace the struts too...can't go wrong with a set of Konis. They'll save you about 2lbs and give better traction for the hole shot
