Do a search on this forum. There are alot of people that have done this on their own. What lowering kit are you going to use? You know once you lower your car, you are going to need an adjustable pan hard bar, to keep the thing centered in the rear.

QA1s are 12 way adjustable, does that mean height or stiffness? Will they work ok with stock springs, or would it be better to get say BMR Springs?
