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,
