Q: what model? EX have one and only one worthwhile mod for a *little* more power. other models does not
sedan are slightly heavier in the rear, so rear will endup lower, from what i have seen through the years in here. even more if you put a heavy sub in trunk. otherwise, it should fit - think they were same design?
My auto Sedan is long gone and was totally stock, so personally do not know details.
springs are better if paired with better shocks. stock shocks might die earlier if paired with lowering/stiffer springs.
teins had good reviews? so should be OK.

by noticeable diff you mean suspension or engine?
LOL, ezone, hope it actually have a snail someplace, and it's not the largest cold air intake with an intercooler "without a snail" system i ever saw

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Here's a real good piece of advice: if you do it, DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. Don't cheap out and get china junk only to waste more time+money down the line
