    For just a slight drop, yes, vogtland springs are the ticket. For a list of parts, just going off the top of my head:

    • Springs
    • Struts
    • Strut Mounts
    • Sway Bar, Front & Rear
    • Sway Bar Bushings
    • Lateral Arms
    • Strut Tower Braces
    • Trailing Arms
    • Sway Bar Endlinks
    • Control Arms
    • Control Arm Bushings
    • Ball Joints
    • Tie Rod Ends, Inner & Outer


    And I'm sure there is a lot of little stuff to go along with that list. But it is pretty complete.

    I usally check on this GM site for diagrams and some of there parts are cheap. They used to carry the Koni strut kits, handling kit, and brake upgrades but I believe they are discontinued.
