Well if you lower your car for $100 with shitty parts, they're going to make fun of your car for bouncing up and down the road. You're going to lower it on shitty coilovers with stock shocks? your car will ride like ****.
Later in life, they will make fun of you for your back problems. You'll get so short...it'll be like someone dumped you lol.
Just save your money. Save like $300-400 more and buy a decent setup. For that kinda skrilla, you can even try to find a GOOD used setup....that isnt too beat up allready.
You can maybe get away with some skunk2 springs and leave you stock shocks till later. The skunk springs are around $125 or so on ebay. The control arms you will have to buy as a result of breaking one or more of the 14mm bolts in the rear lower control arms will be around $100-150. The drill bits you will buy to drill the bolts that broke out of your chassis and trailing arms will be around $10-20. Also an alignment for $65 to $140 (lifetime alignment).
So even without shocks, you're talking about $300-410.
That's if you allready have a propane torch..$20.
The good news is that creative swear words that you will invent while doing all this are free for you. Then you can maybe copyright them and sell them...or atleast make people pay you every time they say them.
Make sure you clock your bushings when you lower the car...or you'll have to buy and install those. If you look in the dictionary under the word "nightmare", It will tell you how to replace your bushings.

w/ that type of attitude just cut your springs, you obviously arent lowering it for the right reasons.
