Well theres a million brands to go with but my favorite is eibach. I put eibach sportline springs and eiback pro-dampers on my 98 gt and im loving the set up right now. now for it to be a successful lowering that will all depend on how far u wanna drop it if u only go an 1.5 then throw on some springs and get an alignment but when u go farther then 1.5 inches u need to start looking at new shocks and struts as well as camber kits. So first thing that u need to do is decide how low u want it.

$250-$350 for some Eibach or Steeda lowing springs which will lower it about an inch.. You probably should plan on replacing the OEM shocks and struts too.. Once you lower it, the factory shocks and struts can start to leak... Have fun!

It really depends on the brand and if u want ajustable or not. Im not positive but prolly would prolly be between the range of 300-600 bucks. I pick up my full suspension which came with the eibach springs and struts and shocks and it was like 650 for everything.

Eh, you can get the eibach which lower it 1.5' and get some 93 fox body shocks sturts. Many people have been doing this, It only costs between 100-200 dollars depending on which brand you go with. That is my future set up once I get around to it.
So around 350-450 dollars if you do not want aftermarket shocks/sturts.
