go low. if you take the more modest route, you're going to look at your car and want to go lower.

same problem, different springs

I need coils as well, though these koni sports are adjusable. I may just take these out and spin them down as far as they go, but I really don't think that's going to make that much of a difference. we'll see though...

pads? rotors? both?

brakes are easy enough. we need to rent the brake tool from kragen or autozone, but I'm down.

when are you looking to get this done? got parts yet? better question... got beer yet?

I still have SuperDug's caliper piston tool, which is necessary for the rear brakes. Tell me when and where I can get this back to you.
