Thanks for the help guys.

I am leaning towards the coils now..

How much of a drop do they give? Is a camber kit necessary with them? Is the drop adjustable? How much is the average install?

Thanks!

amount of drop depends on which coils. camber kit is a good idea for all drops, no matter what. but it really depends on how much you drop it. all coils are height adjustable. avg install is about 150-225.

depends on where you live, but alot of people have issues with the coilover sleave siezing up due to corrosion, so you lose adjustment ability, but that can be an issue with coilovers in general
