I went with Eibach for 1.5 inches on all four corners...then....to correct bumpsteer, I got Steeda's bumpsteer kit and changed out stock balljoints with Steeda X2 balljoints as well for an extra .5 in. So now, my car is lowered 1.5 in the rear and 2 inch. it's got a Damn mean stance!!

Plus I did shocks and struts while I had the springs out cuz it was easier and I'm a lazy person

I think they look like 4X4's when they're not lowered. Let's see here...springs are about $400, shocks and struts depending on what you get. Adjustables run in the $125-$150 per or OEM replacements are more like $75-80 per. Bumpsteer is about $125 and balljoints were about $100 soooo....ther grand total being about $1000-$1300 depending on what kind of shock/struts you get...and that's doing it yourself.
