Suspension Question
So I've been thinking about slamming my car and after reading all the related threads Im still confused:
If I get coilovers, thats the only thing i need to get. Am I wrong? Can someone please shed some light on this. Thanks

You will most certainly need a camber correction kit to straighten your wheels if you slam to da earf. When you lower your car, your control arms and axles will pull your wheels in, forcing them to stick out on an angle like this. 
Camber correction kits like ingalls helps by correcting the position of your control arms to straighten your wheels

thanks for all the responses but i've decided that if i do a drop, it will be relatively modest one. also coilovers are somewhat out of my budget range so i will looking into a springs/shocks combo. I will be putting new tires on my stock wheels shortly, they are 225/50/16 vs 205/55/16. Will these fit? How much of a drop can I do with these?

i have 225/50/16 kuhmos. they are nice. really wide i like them so much more than 205/55/26. plus it give your tire a little more size to it, because no one wants rubberbands on some stock wheels. but for the drop on them im not sure, havent done it yet but im sure it will be fine

after some research, i've decided Im gonna go with Tein S tech springs. Its a moderate drop along with a good ride quality, that seems to be the opinion on here. Where is a good place to order them? I remeber some1 posting that ebay is filled with fakes...
