That wouldn't be too low for a bodykit. So i think you should go get them springs!

Springs are usually more stiffer. Coils dont stay in place when you hit a bump. Springs are compressed and dont move but you need good shocks for either.I like springs better cause like i said, they're not as bouncy As for me..i got neuspeed 2 inch drop and with koni yellows I have no complaints about those! So which ever u like to go with its all good.

I still say get a strut bar and shortshifter...lol

Seriously, why get springs/sleeves, use your stock shocks, and have to re-install them later anyways. DO it right the first time, don't get springs until you have $$$ for performance shocks (like Tokico HBs if adjustability is not a problem). I seriously wouldn't recommend lowering it on stock shocks unless you like a blown suspension. Either save your $$$ for now... or get the springs or shocks, and dont install them. Or get 2 mods that are well worth the $$$ and ypou will definitely notice a difference from.....

I hear all different things .... some people swear they are almost all the same, others say they are not.

For certain, I would NOT get a DC sports one... over-costed, and shitty quality. The DC strut bar is more for show than for performance (the thing BENDS )

I'd recommend a Neuspeed one..... when it comes to suspension, Neuspeed make some good ass shit.....

A strut bar is definitely worth it, but i'd get a nice Momo steering wheel or springs first...but then i'm a looks kind of guy!
