im not exactly sure what i am getting i have a performance shop i go to, he helps me out. your car looks GREAT almost no wheel gap what size wheels do you have and any suggestions on the coilovers would help (what all do i need coilovers, struts, caster camber plates is that all). hows your ride quality and how much did you lower it
thanks for help

Thanks..I have a full coilover setup consisting of upr fronts mmr rears kyb agx struts, CE 3-way adj drag shocks, hotchkis cc plates and I need to get bumpsteer and offset rack bushings to be complete. I would suggest all of what I listed as well. Make sure you know what coilover setups work with what struts/shocks etc. All of my setup was a on a budget and I spend around 900 but now it will easily cost 1200 prices have gone up in the last yr but if you look for deals you can get it done right. I personally love the outcome as far as the ride it can be a little bouncy sometimes nothing extreme but the handling is so much better, because your lower the center of gravity and the fact that I run dr's on the back probably helps some too..I have over 4" in lowering and know all the things I have done, need to do should do etc so just lemme know like I said.....Dan
