Default Noob Coilover Questions?

After seeing this pic of my car(the white EK) i decided i needed a drop......


I was considering getting Skunk 2 or Eibach Pro Kit Coilovers and dropping it about 2". My Question is if i get these and drop it 2" will i damage any other components of my suspension, and/or will there be accelerated wear on some parts? And is it Nessesary to buy anything else on top of the Coilovers? Ive never dropped a car before and i just wanna see what im getting in to.
Thanks in Advance.

you wont hurt your car in any way by lowering it, you just have to drive a little more carefully. It will cause your stock shocks to ware out and blow out though But i would get ground controls over skunk 2's. But you might consider buying some shocks to just so you wont have to take apart your suspension twice.

Whenever you drop it, ride on the springs for a week or two to let them break in, then after get an alignment. It'll help out a lot. Or if u have the money lower the car, wait till the springs break in then invest in an camber kit, then go get an alignment.
