with aftermarket springs, its usually a good idea to get aftermarket shocks too. they are usually meant to cope with the higher spring rates of aftermarket springs.

for your price range, i don't know if you'll be able to get a good spring/shock combo but i could be wrong. maybe you could find some for cheap. and if you want there to be no gap between the tires and body, you'll probably have to lower it close to 2" all around. thats just a guess though.

i wonder if i can use my old shocks...i still have the car the springs are fuck one broke...but thats for the advice...

Dunno about the height, but Dropzones are usually pretty cheap...

Lowering is kinda like doing an engine swap. The up-front estimate can be cheap, but its always a good idea to have that overflow. That way, if you need it, its there, and if not, then youve got extra $$, which is always a good thing

To put it mildly, and im one for over-shooting, i plan on a drop costing me right around $1000. Cuz you never know what problems lowering your car may bring about. Not to mention, theres always neg camber and control arms to worry about.
