Well, having gotten some new wheels and tires, and being that the wheel gap is
huge and my handling could use some improvement, I have decided that I will lower the car in July. I am going to go with the H&R Super-Sports based on that they offer the biggest drop for the money and people seem to like them the best (also no sagging probs).
Do I need shocks and struts to maintain a decent ride quality?
Can I install springs, shocks and struts myself at home (no prior suspension experience)?
Do I absolutely need a spring compressor? (no idea what they look like/cost)
Is it worth it to have it professionally done?
Do I need a suspension alignment afterwards?
Please don't

me cause I'm such a suspension noob, just trying to get my info from the horse's mouth and not trial by error buying.
