No, most good kits require a tokico, bilstien, kyb, something like that. I believe there is something to do with the way the adjustment sleeve rides on them. One thing you will really really need is an upper strut bar, since you have now transerred all the front end weight from the k-member to the shock towers.

My wheels go on tomorrow, so I just need some lowering springs, and I thought while I was doing it, I might as well do something adjustable or something.

Well you can go adjustable all the way around, my friend has it on his IRS 01 GT. It's really all in what you want, and sometimes it is very convenient to have. I've had them on a few cars.

How much do you think it would cost to get fully a adjustable suspension? Or what is the cheapest safe way to do it.

Shop around, and talk to some of the sponsors. Tell them what you want to do. I'm not an expert at it, and I won't pretend to be, but I have installed a good few sets and tweeked them as much as I could. I'm getting some front coilovers for mine, I think they're D&D or Maximum motorsports, can't remember.
