    and here's your spacers:

    they're both zzp, you might be able to find them somewhere else if you feel like putting in the time

    THey're just subframe washers.

    you can get them for teh cheap from yards if the cars are in the air.

    or be lazy.
    actually the talked about 'anti-pogo' washers go on the upper strut mount.

    please change the tires to the right size...even being lowered its going to look stupid...

    but, you can probably go as low as you want because of the offset on the gtx wheels.

    a lot of people run only front springs. however, youre not taking care of the problem. your rear is sagging because of worn out springs. if you swapped a whole set of springs it will even out the car just fine because they are new.

    the problem with putting prices up is that prices always change and if youre doing it right you shouldnt be trying to do it on a budget as well.

    I understand but the prices up front stop me from looking at it and deciding to spend the money .. Anytime I start looking seriously and shopping around I usually spend the money And I hate spending money

    bilstein B6 HD's are well over a grand yet you COULD lower your car on stock shocks.

    Talked to a local who did that, says it rides fine.
