I wouldnt just do springs. The stock shocks are horrible and with lowering springs you will probably blow them. If you do springs, shocks are also neccesary, without a doubt, unless all you are doing is showing the car, but your not so...
If I where you I would go to the Handling and Braking forum and post a price range and goal (i.e:drag racing, auto X) and those guys in there will fix you up. They are very knowledge

From the research Ive done and based on my own mods I'd say springs, shocks, and good tires. After that relocation brackets and lca's. Then tq arm, then subframe connectors last.

Honda Hunter: If you talk to most of the guys like Sam Strano they will say SFCs only corrrect the problems that a set of good shocks would cure. They say that instead of putting these on and adding weight you should just put on some good shocks and theyll do all the things that the SFCs will do.

Dude, i know that. That's why I said they should be last only if youre headset on getting them. Ive gone through this argument many times after someone showed me the truth about sfc on 4th gens. Believe me, in this section everyone swears by them. I got them because Im a Mustang convertable man and thought all uni bodies were the same. I learned different after searching ls1tech.

Another vote for BMR Lower Control Arms and Relocation brackets... i would also suggest an adjustable panhard rod... then get some shocks and springs and a good set of tires... then move on and do an adjustable torque arm and safty loop, then subframes.... etc...

Yah i say lcas and panhard b/c they are cheap and pretty easy to do to start off then maybe get ya a good set of shocks around. After possible spend some a littel more money and get ya a torque arm and maybe some sfcs. you could get a strut tower brace too if you wanted to they are dirt cheap anyways in fact i picked one up off the forums for 20 bucks so jsut search around and you can find some good deals.
