Lowering an '02 Sedan recently purchased '02 RadRuby LX sedan 4-auto (boo-prefer manual, but couldn't pass on 17,300 mile '02.)
looking to lower it next summer - need advice.
1) can i swap out spring/struts only from factory HFP, or would I need to do full HFP pkg? cost?? (parts/install)
2) is there an aftermarket spring/strut kit at lower cost (not lower quality).
3) what about alignment after lowering - any issues?

1) you need to buy the whole package
2 & 3) please read the FAQ. You can get shocks and springs or a full coilover set for a 1" drop. Yes you need a camber kit.

People point and laugh when I drive by. Plus I like men.

Rep Power: 0 i have aftermarket springs on stock struts and all it does is pop a little when i turn the wheel alot to one side sometimes. mines a 2 inch drop and i dont have a camber kit. ive read around and people say anything below 2 inches needs a camber kit. but i didnt get one and my tires wear fine.
