1. We are not blind, so there is no need for CAPITAL letters or extremely large text.

2. Those are coilover sleeves, not actual coilovers. Probably the cheapest "real" coilover set you're gong to find are Tein Basics which are $750+

No, I and many other people do not recommend using them. Just getting lowering springs and some decent shocks or a real coilover setup will save you a lot of headaches down the road.

Springs - $140 - $220

Shocks - $300 - $700

Rough estimates.

why dont you do some research and figure out which springs and shocks you want and then google it... there are litterally thousands of online tuner stores, and a good dozen different springs you can choose from, and twice as many shocks. There is no one store that is going to sell all the brands and combinations

You will need to decide what kind of ride quality you are willing to deal with on your DD, what kind of road clearances you need on a day to day basis, how much you actually want to spend, etc. etc. If you pick out junk, or something you are not satisfied with you will most likely be SOL, there is not a real big market for used springs and shocks, people dont trust them even if they have not been on the car that long... for good reasons I might add.

You are also going to need a camber kit, most people will tell you that you only need them after 2" of drop, but from personal experience I will tell you that you will chew through tires faster without it. Stay away from plate style adjusters, they slip and require constant attention and readjustment.
