Default Suspension for me?

Ok i need help finding a suitable suspension upgrade. Mine is stock with 101,000 miles on it. i would like to lower her about an inch. I plan on getting a traction lok. so should i maybe think about a rear sway bar?
any input is appreciated!

Link for some lowering springs.

With you doing all of this, I suggest replacing your struts. You gotta take them off to get the springs off anyhow.

no suspension upgrade will really be worth a darn until you shore up the chassis.

subframe connectors and a rear sway will help the most.

You can pick up a GT rear swqay bar for 35 dollars, but a good upgrade would be a Bullitt Rear Sway.

If you go bigger than those you'll have to match the front as well.
