i plan on lowering my car soon about 1.5" and springs was all im changing for now to keep cost down. will i need to change aynthing alse for this to work properly. I would like the ride quality to not change. I am stuck between dms and hotchkis springs but leanig more towards the dms for price. also i was wondering how fun they are to install. I installed headers i feel about anything should be easier than that.

Good luck getting the bolt off of the passenger side front shock to disassemble. I had to destroy my shock to get it off. For some reason on these cars water collects in there and rusts the **** out of it. Had to cut the bolt off and slice through the shaft to get it off. This was after lots and lots of break free and air tools. Just be prepared when you do the install, however you do it and have some new shocks ready.

Also you will not need anything else for these springs to work properly... just give them a week or more to settle and break-in.
