Just let me know if we have a garage with tools and hank or somebody else they can start on the front. I can either help them or do the rear (I am an expert with the rear since I had to bolt and unbolt it like 20 times to figure out it was the muffler that was knocking) then help with the front. Figure we can finish it in 1-2 hours tops even with the inclement weather. If you decide just pm me I will check in da morning. Later

as I see it, IF i get lowering springs, im gonna need new shocks as well. if its like other cars that I have been witness to lowering, i doubt the stocks would last long.
and i see the prices for new springs and shocks,
coilovers are not too much more and those give me adjustability, i like adjustability......

You really won't need new shocks every car I lowered I haven't gotten new shock and it has been fine for a while anyways.

But adjusting it for driving then lowering it at meets and shows coilovers have your name written all over them

Adjustability would be good. Maybe down the road, for now I will go with springs.

im not saying they go out in a year. just sonner that they would with stock springs. and with the way i am, i would rather do it all in one fell swoop.

and it would still leave me with a good matching pair of shocks/springs should the need arise.

i have a problem with needing to plan and prepare for a disaster that will probably never happen and im a pack rat.
