To lower it you'll need more than springs, at the bare minimum you need springs and a adjustable pan hard rod, when you lower the car it pushes the wheels out to one side more, causing more wear on the wheel that gets brought under the car more, the adjustable pan-hard will re-center this, so that covers your for looks and wear, but lowering the car causes loss of traction and wheel hop if you stick due to the angle change of the lower control arms, so you'll need LCA relocation brackets to fix that at a minimum, then some after market LCA's if you feel like you need them, your ride quality will suffer greatly w/a lowerd car on stock shocks so some QA1's or HAL's would help but arent nessacary
