I have a question. I talked to a mechanic about lowering my car, and he told me that if I put springs on it I should also replace shocks, struts, ect. I'm kinda on a tight budget and I'm not looking for a racecar type ride, just a daily-mean-lookin driver. Do I need to go all out on the suspension for this? Or can I just put on some Sportlines and be done with it?
Thanks, Ryan

Ya it can get expensive to install springs, and normally stock struts wont hold up to lowering springs, so just do it all at once, because installation will be the same if you have struts put in while they are doing the springs.
