Is it your daily driver? What is your budget?
If you did buy that, toss the shocks and get a koni srt-t shock.

Stock shocks don't really like to be lowerd and there is a good chance the shocks are blown.

But, I think just the springs new cost more than that.

He's already asked a similar question in the Suspension forum.

OP you don't seem to have a grasp on what aftermarket parts are available for your own car. I would suggest you start using the advanced search for a while and see what everyone else is running already.

If you want pics check the Appearance thread. They have more than plenty for you to view.

That small of a budget will only get you Ebay crap. Definitely not a drop AND wheels. Save up and do it right.

Save up more money.
You deffinetly arent going to do wheels and suspension, at least not correctly.

You COULD, buy the springs and shocks that person has for sale. Then just sit on them untill you are able to afford nice shock. I would reccomend that, just for the springs, and then toss the shocks.

Don't forget you'll still need an alignment, which is going to set you back around $70.

Skunk2 is crap, and there is no campany named function2. There is fucntion7, however they dont make coilovers.
There is also function&form, however, the cheepest ones will run him 600+

Buying skunk2 coilovers will cause him to do it twice, they will not last.

I have skunk2 coilovers, I am speaking from experience when I say they are trash. They are junk, PERIOD.
I also have several friends who have and have had their coilovers. They are good at first, but fail a 1-2 years later.

Actually, the name isn't function&form Type2 coilovers, the name is just Function&Form. They make type 1, type 2, and type 2.5 coilovers.
