you should be able to get a set of tien springs and you would definetly want new struts so you could get some kyb gr2 struts

-Tein s-tech = $160
-KYB GR2 = $120

so a total of about $300. And then you could get a set of urethane bushing which is definetly worth it. Or instead go with a better set of struts with maybe the kyb agx which are about $250. So the total would be $410. But that at least shows you some options and the pricing to expect. Dont forget installation also if your not doing it yourself

I would suggest w/ going w/ the agx's. They'll hold up better w/ the car being lowered.

hmm, probably but for a set of 4 agx's its too much money for me right now, cause plus i have to buy lowering springs, so wut ive decided thus far is that im going to get gr2's and some tein h-tech lowering springs, not sure exactly yet tho on the springs, im looking as well at possibly some eibachs or some h&r's, and i was also wondering, if i lower it will i have to worry too much about mayb needing to adjust the camber angle or getting adjustable camber kits for the car or will it not really b a big problem??? i mean its only going to drop mayb 2" in the front and 1.5" in the rear, i personally think it wont b a big problem, but who knos
