getting coilovers is good if you want to adjust the height usually between 1-4 inches. If you want just a standard drop, then getting lowering springs is what you want. You will want to get a camber kit unless you want to buy tires often. The camber kit will get your alignment back within factory specs so your tires will wear slower.

As long as you go to a GOOD alignment shop. The guy I took mine to DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU COULD CHANG THE REAR CAMBER...so I had him do it TWICE, after I showed him how !!! lol

But yeah, SEARCH and learn...

Get some lowering springs if you just want a drop...if you want it to be adjustable, go with coilovers. Either way, keep in mind the ride will be STIFFER...so you might want to go with some Koni's if you get just the springs...they help a TON !!!

That happened to me, I went to get a alignment awhile ago and the guy didnt know how to adjust the rear toe. What a bunch of idiots.
