I was looking at getting my car lowered too. Is there anything besides coilovers you need? What about like a kamber kit and stuff? If money wasn't an object, what would be a good way to lower it?

All these people say lower your car with coilovers. Well if you want it slamed then yes. But with a kit its just not pratical. Just get some springs that lower it abotu 1.5 which will kill the fender gap really well. Also you can ride on the stock struts for a while and the ride will be ok. But you have to rember that when you lower your car on stock struts the ride will suffer some. But your best bet for money and looks is to just get some springs. You shouldn't need a camber correction kit with our car. Just get an alignment after you lower it. They will tell you if you need a camber correction kit if you seriously slam the car. Sorry about the tangent. Exile04, since you want to lower your car after you get a kit. I would recomend just getting some springs and then get it aligned afterwards.

I recomend getting a set of high quality springs (like Eibach) and definetly get an allignment afterwards, its not even an option, its a must. If you don't, your tires will wear very unevenly. The problem with coilovers is when you raise and lower them, you loose your camber settings and your tires will begin to wear unevenly if it isn't set to the same height every time.
