You need more to properly lower your car!!!! You need to re-center the rear end with lower control arm relocation brackets and an adjustable panhard rod. Wirth a drop as serious as 2" you will need these. If not one side of your rear end will stick out farther than the other and you will lose a tremendous amount of traction because your LCA's lose their effect because they are not in the posistion they need to be. You really should put sub frames on to because I lowered my car and put serious wheels and tires on and I could see parts of my car were flexing because the car handled so well. My driver side door stuck out about 1/8" after lowering and some serious cornering. Check my website for pics.

if you just wanna lower it for now you can always add the other stuff later as you get the money.

That rules. You must have of the few gerages that has not been burned or needlessly torn down. Are you in a UD house?
