you will need caster/camber plates, different shocks and struts, and offset steering rack bushings. it won't offset your suspension that bad. it will improve handling but reduce ride quality. i suggest going with Eibach sportline springs and Koni single adjustable shocks

Its not too bad. I just lowered my car, not quite 2 inches, but I got sportline springs, tokico shocks/stuts and steeda caster/camber plates and I will tell you straight up...It is great. Unless you live somewhere that you have to constantly go up steep inclines from driveways n such, there shouldnt be too much of a problem. The ride quality isnt sacrificed that much. Its smooth where the road is, and you are more aware of the road. If its bumpy, you might get get tossed a little but its not bad.
