Lowering
Ok ive searched lols and searched, but i couldnt find an answer the the exact question im asking so here it is.
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.
