Lost On What To Do

So I left work today to drop my car off at my crib today b/c I noticed that the car is kinda tilting at an angle, the passenger side looks alittle bit more lifted then the driver side. I was saving up money to order a camber kit for the front and rear and then drop it on Tein S Techs, but now I think I need to replace the struts.
So options are hold out on lowering the car and buy the struts or buy new strut and F/R camber kit + S Tech springs by pulling out of my 401k, I guess I also want to know if anyone had this problem?

Also I have about 76k on my 03 and it is a daily driver for me.

Thanks,

Once you put the S-techs on your remaining OEM struts will probably not last very long. Your better off getting aftermarket struts with the springs. You will definitely need a front camber kit, I don't remember my rear camber being an issue when I had my S-techs on.

I plan to get both front and back, I thought that I had read that the rear camber was more important then the front. But I guess that doesn't matter when I plan to get both, I haven't researched struts for this car yet but does anyone have any good recomendations?

Whatever you do don't pull out of your 401K. Leave that there for your future and let it make you money.

Coilovers would definitely be the way to go, not only are they new struts... but you have the freedom to go as low as you want.

+100 you will regret it if you do, believe me I tried it once, dumbest thing I've EVER done, and I was thrown out of the back of a pickup truck because my buddy insisted he could keep up with a WRX in a dirt field with his 1982 Dodge Dacota...

also...coilovers
