Im gonna lower my car and well baggin her is WAy out of the question since im only in highschool and work a part time job. So im gonna get lowering springs and i was woundering what springs i need and if i need anything else, or can i just put em on my regular stock set up and just change out the springs?
sorry that its along post i just couldnt think of the right way to say it lols.

I used springtech springs I got from eBay on my stock struts. Worked quite well.. good drop. Only took about a 2 hours job and it was the first time I'd ever done anything with suspension.
decent comparison:

You can put the lowering springs on stock struts just don't expect the struts to last very long. I would say another 30,000 miles before they toast depending on how many miles they have on them now.
