If u have the money go for coilovers, but they wont b cheap. A used set of of tein coilovers run roughly $600. If u get springs, u could pick them up for brand new like ishtl said for roughly 200-250, and used ones for roughly a lil over 100.big price difference. It all depends on the amount you r willing to spend. And depending on the mileage on ur shocks, mayb u should get coilovers so you replace everything at once if u have high mileage,but if u have low mileage on ur shocks, pair ur oem shocks wit aftermarket springs for now in my opinion.

I love my tein ss's. Makes the car look way different when you have a nice stance.

Go for them, I just got mine this week and hopefully will have them in next week after I get my car back from the body shop. Hit up Josh at Excelerate and he should hook you up. Adjustable coilovers are nice because you can slam your car for the summer and then raise it back up for the winter.

Depeding on how low you want to go, I'd invest in a set of ingalls (at least for the rears). There are several informative threads on camber/tow kits. A quick search will answer all your questions...

-Ok well first off you got Heeltoe or Excelerate you can buy from.

-As for prices it'll vary cause if you want the Basics(w/o adjustable dampening) or Superstreets(w/ adjustable dampening) then if you do go with SS's you may or may not want the EDFC to adjust the dampening with the push of a button and then there's top hats, you may want the pillowball mounts you may not want them.

-Are the worth it? I think you need to decide how low you wanna ride at. Then that'll answer your "?"'s on that. If you want more then 2" then coilovers. if you don't want it that low then you can get the a-spec susp or just a spring/strut combo.

-The "-"'s are bottoming out on dips and such, negative camber which will result in you buying a camber kit to align properly, meaning more $'s spent.

-Installation is a sinch, you can do it yourself if you know your way around cars. There's plenty of members here that can help you out I'm sure. I just did mine with SS's and it was literally so fast, maybe total it took me 2 1/2 hrs tops start to finish.
