I heard BC coilovers are legit. They'll run you a grand new though.

Sportline springs will give you the lowest drop, then you need to move to coilovers or bags if you're all out.

Yes, get new struts while replacing the springs or you will have to replace em soon anyways when they blow out. KYB's are legit.

All your drop rates and spring rates are here. Take 5 mins and you will make your choice. Yes buy new struts or you will be like me feeling every bump and hoping you dont bend a rim when hitting one. I'm outta money and hoping to replace mine asap. im on a pro kit.
