Yes get new dust boots.

Something that came in handy when we lowered my car, a spring compressor. They rent them at Pep Girls and it's free... well worth it.

You might want to measure the center wheel well to the ground before you drop (and write it down) so can know how much you dropped.

good call...especially since it takes some time for the sprints to settle

Whoa, where is the thread that informs you on what you need to buy when lowering your springs?
