Stay away from that crap you posted from Amazon. Those look like an accident waiting to happen. If you don't have a lot of money, buy springs and install them on the shocks you already have.

I would suggest 18" wheels; they provide a decent mix of looks and comfort.

You have to pay to play. If you don't do it properly the first time, you're going to spend more money in the long run. Save your pennies and buy the right equipment

H&R Sport Spings or Tein (not sure which spec). Both give a nice moderate drop and help with handling.

Also consider a Progress Rear Sway bar.

Springs ~$230 - $250 (plus install or DIY)
RSB ~$130 - $150 (plus install or DIY)

You can also check the Black Market classifieds for someone selling used: https://acurazine.com/forums/marketplace/parts/search/
