Default what else do I need?

First off, I'm a suspension noob. So anyway, I'm about to get the ground control springs and tokico struts for my DA and plan to lower it maybe 1.5"-2". Besides the actual struts, springs and bushings...what else do i need to do and get? thanks in advance.

Are you buying the GC sleves? The springs that GC uses are Eibach Race Springs, and you will need to buy the GC sleeves in order to mount them to the shock.

What bushings are you talking about?

If you're talking about the rubber in the mounts, then yes, you can reuse them.

You don't need anything else.

I would suggest buying something other than the Blue shocks with the GCs as they are basically a stock replacement. I'd look into the Illuminas or Koni Sports (yellows) although, you could probably get away with the Reds with off the shelf rates.
