what do I really NEED to lower my car?

Ok besides the Eibach 2" drop springs, do I really NEED anything else? I read in another post that I will want LCA lowering brackets to control wheel hop, but do I NEED them? What about sway bar issues?

Thanks
Jeff

After drop, you will need an ailignment if your are sentimental about your current front donuts.

Philip, where did you get those OM-17 wheels from? What about cost, fitment, quality. I've been interested in these rims, visited Group A Wheels site.

Thanks, Dave
