read the sticky at the top of this section.

i'm looking at springs and dampeners for starters. then anti-roll bars and camber adjusters if necessary. Eibach has a Pro Kit that looks pretty decent. I'm also thinking about H&R springs with Koni dampeners.

you're not going to lower your car for less than $700 without causing premature wear and damage on other parts. even if it's for looks - you still need to do it right.

if you cut corners, buy cheap parts, don't replace all parts, etc. you'll end up spending a lot more in the long run.

How much for those coilovers? I know you quoted me for the DZ coilover springs but not for complete ones yet. My Eibach/Tokico setup is occasional making noises that worry me.

did you replace your bushings when you upgraded? you may want to re-torque your bolts.
