Cheapest I can lower car for properly?

As the title suggests, I want to lower my car for the cheapest possible while still doing it properly. What I mean by that is, I simply want to lower my car for aesthetics. I don't care about improving performance drastically. I don't race my car.. And I only plan on keeping my car for another 2-3 years. So, what is everything I would need to purchase to do this properly but on the cheaper side? As I'm pretty sure coil overs are a more premium option, I'm referring to the lowering springs route. Thanks!

As the title suggests, you are terrible in grammar.
Also, it would help to know how much of a drop you are looking for.
A super cheap option would be to take the stock struts/springs from a 05-08 350Z...can lower about 1/2-3/4 an inch.
But to be done "properly" it isn't going to be a cheap route. A lot of things to consider before completing...what wheels/tires/camber you want to run...etc

lol are you referring to how I omitted the "What is the" before "Cheapest" And the "," after "for"?? Haha come on man, get off my case and get a grip. AND if anything, "Terrible IN grammar" ?? No you dunce, it's more proper to say "You have terrible grammar"

So I'm actually thinking about getting the tein basics or basis. I found them on carid and in the product description, it says "Not Included: Front Upper Mounts, Rear Upper Mounts. Rear Damping Force Adjustment" . Are these things that I need to buy? Would I also need a camber kit?

OP if you want your alignment in spec you will need a camber kit front and rear. and maybe toe bolts depending on how low you go in the rear.

$1k is the least to do it properly if you do all your own work (maybe ~700 if you find some good deals), and $150 if you want a POS. The choice is yours.

pfft you don't need a kit. just take a full coil or two out if your stock springs, camber parts? well shieeet just use washers as spacers to make the wheels stand straight
