Good job?

Coilovers or Springs
Decent shocks, adjustable is only your preference
Camber Kit if more than 1.5 (IMHO)
Alignment to adjust toe

Should be all set!

adjustable shocks are realy a good thing for ur car if ur into autocross bit also good for street use it would be wise to inviste in some good shocks tokico or tein, zeal, zex, jic or some good brands

are adjustable shocks for changing height or is it purly dampening, and such?? so can i get adjustable coilovers and just use regular new shocks....that arent adjustable, even tho i have and will be adjusting the coilovers?

i mean both its better to have adjustables for hight casue the springs are matched with the shocks so its smother ride and dampenig for better stablity in corners ans such

N21

how easy is it to match the right adjustments on the shock, to the adjustment ont he coilover?

well when u put a set of good shocks on with the coilovers built on then you should use a corner scale to measure the weight of each corner to determin the whay u should make the hight adjustments for front and rear. u want the bac higher then the front just common sense i just used a scale to set mine up maybe you can see about using a scale

thanks for all your help, but i wanted to knwo if i got skunk2 adj. coilovers, or something similar, and then got some tokico regular shocks, what would i have to do after i put them on?..

if i got coilovers and then adjustable shocks, then what would i have to do diff after i put them on, and would i have to change somthing with them, everytime i changeride heirght?

u should be fine if you put them on no problems with them at all no changing any thing
