bag? like air bags? a correct air bag setup will actually give you better handeling, but then again, eibachs are a couple hundred bucks

a proper air bag system will also run at least a grand if you get a good deal and do it yourself and thats a very basic 2 way bag system assuming he doesnt want to frame out i say a good set of springs and a few small things would be sufficient if your just looking to lower and not alot else

even dropping the car with springs will cost a lot to do it right. You'll want good quality springs, shocks, struts, bumpsteer kit, ball joints, cc plates, and professional alignment by a custom shop to get good ride quality and handling. If you're not prepared to do it all right the first time, just leave it all stock.
