coilovers.



if you want you can do the top mounts and bearings as said, but not nescisarily(sp?) needed, when i did mine i wasnt going to replace them cause they seemed fine, however once instaling the new coilovers the front struts had way to much play in them so ended up replacing the fronts and all is fine :)


oh and possibly a new arb depending on how low

Depends how low ur gonna go. If really low the arb will rub on driveshafts that's wot those r for to move arb up.

drop links wownt adjust the arb height much. will proberbly only be able to go 10 or 20 mill lower with drop links.

get a new arb that goes under the driveshaft then you can go any height you want
