None. Just keep it stock. Your stock struts won't last long, and the ride will be crap. If your gonna do it, do it right. Struts and shocks!

But the
newspaper
does it!

Typing in
columns is
the SHIZNIT!



Anywho, I'm on this bandwagon. Get the springs if you want, but don't put them on until you get the shocks as well. Enjoy one upgrade at a time, not 1/2 an upgrade at a time. for wasted time with suspension

Everyone here is right, do not lower you car more than about an inch and a half without getting aftermarket struts. The ride will indeed be terrible, you may rub bumpstops and it will end up just making you purchase those struts sooner than you anticipated. Don't half-*** on suspension, these are my words of wisdom. And also, no one mentioned that without camber plates/adjustments or adjustable pillow ball mounts, you will destroy your tires in less than 8 months. Think this through, don't rush, it will pay off in the future.

yeah i agree on everyone's advice and i do not recommend on doing half the work.
But when you are ready to lower your vehicle the easy way of lowering your vehicle is just getting a set of damper kit.

It goes right on and you could adjust the ride height. Keep in mind though that I think most damper kit is not adjustable like say if you want to make your ride stiff or soft.

But anyway also I recommend camber kit for the front and for the back you wouldn't need to buy a camber kit if you don't want to. Because you can just get a couple of washers and insert them to angle out the tires.

Well good luck with lowering your vehicle
