I'm planning on purchasing new 17" wheels. But with this, I want to drop my car w/ springs.

Now, after I get springs, am I going to upgrade my suspension, get strut towers etc?

All I want is a dropped car w/ my new 17" wheels, but I feel its not gonna end here...

You might as well get the struts at the same time, saves you in the long run. I think everyone would agree that once you start modding, it never ends. I'm almost done cosmetically (need the front lip), and now I have moved on to the intake/exhaust. I feel the SC coming up too.

If you get springs, you should replace the stock struts as medicsonic said. You may end up having to later on anyways with the new springs. As for modding, yes, it is like an addiction......once you start, it's tough to stop.....

Yup, that's what happens. I agree with the peeps earlier that you should just change the struts at the same time to save labor costs. You'll like what you have at the end though...I promise!
