What will i need to lower my AU? Do all i need are new coils and shocks? I want to go SL in front and SSL in rear.

SSLs will give you more greaf then there worth. SLs on the front will be fine with the Tickford shocks. SSLs on the rear will make the car drag its ar$e everywere, you will need short shocks & it will handle like a bucket of junket.
IMO stick to SLs & save yourself some worry..

ok well the reason i'm going SSL in the rear is because i want the car 2 sit level, i don't like that factory nose lower than the rear look.
I guess il just have 2 try the SSL's and see what happens. I can always change them later

Thanks for the advice
