If I do the coupe/Z springs combo to lower my 03.5 sedan (sport suspension)
with wheels- front 18x8 225/45/18
rear 18x9.5 255/40/18

Will there be any modification needed? Im looking for a simple setup. and what year coupe/Z spring will fit?

When driving over some bumps in the road today, I noticed a squeeky noise from what sounds to be coming from outside, the front area...should I have my mechanic check my shocks?

I don't know this for sure, but if I were to guess, I'd say that's a EVAP/vacuum line for your fuel vent/EGR system.

It should be fixed but if it's as I said (again, not sure), then you can fix it easily, just unclip it, clean it up really well, and wrap the crap out of it with electrical tape or something.

I have been using Mobil 1 for the past 40k miles and I like it, I use Castrol Edge on my parents G and they aren't complaining either. I really dont know what you're looking for in an oil, but I guess the only piece of advice i can give you is to stick with the same brand/type. It wont hurt to switch but I was told they use different additives that "build" on each other each consecutive oil change. as for oil filters, all I can say is to stay away from FRAM... the price may be appealing, but you get what you pay for...

for air filters, i guess thats all personal preference...
