Thinkin about dropping it
About a grand after everything is done
Must do - 300 springs..pick your flavor
300 - 800 shocks Re-Valved Bilsteins or Koni's - Should do and you'll be sorry if you dont
Must Do - 200 - Adjustable Panhard bar - No diff in Mfg
150 - 200 LCA Relocation - Optional No diff in Mfg
Have the fronts put in for you 100-200
Absolutely do the rears your self..Hell My little sister could do the rear

My recommendation:
Do not lower your car without putting new (proper) shocks on. The *very* minimum shock would be the Bilstein HD.
As for springs, it just depends how low you want it and the spring rates.
I do NOT recommend BMR springs - poor ride quality.

I need the panhard and control arms still but heres what I did.
Intrax springs 2 inch drop about 1.8 in the back! got them on here for 120.
Then I went shocks. Advance Auto Parts had the best deal for me and I looked like 100 places! IN the front I went KYB AGX Adjustable and the back shocks are KYB Gas adjusts. I went gas adjust for the back because they were like 55 bucks cheaper a shock. got all 4 shocks for like 300$
I love my ride and handling, But I do need the panhard bad for when im turning hard a cant give it really any gas without turning around!!! if you go eibach I heard the sportline sagg after a while but dont know myself and the pro-kit is good if you dont want to go that low!
Then installation costed me about 175, Had a friend do it because **** places just charge way too mutch like 300-500.
Yep im happy I went down 2 inches insted of 1.5 it just wouldnt be the same! But I also have 2 cars so I dont have to drive the camaro I can jump in teh 3.8er Good luck!

I went with horchkis all theway around. Includes springs, pan hard bar, sway bars, trailing arms and strut bar. For shocks I went with the Koni's. I got the suspension stuff from our sponsor MIT------>.

The rears are like eating cake *yum*....
If you can get a decent price on just the fronts... hire that part out. They are a bitch to do.
I have LT1 Eibach pro-kit springs on mine with Sam Strano revalved bilstein HD shocks. The shocks are a must have if you ask me. I haven't had to get the panhard or LCA's or anything else so far. But I'm running stock size wheels and tires. If you have oversize rear tires/wheels then you will need some of the other parts... adj. panhard bar, relocation brackets etc.
