just get some lowering springs with a small drop. you wont need new shocks unless your other ones are already messed up. the only thing you need to worry about is camber. if you're just going to lower it a little it should not be a problem. the more you lower it, the more negative camber you will get and then you might need new upper control arms.

YOU WILL NEED A CAMBER KIT!!!!!! It fucks up more than just tires. ball joints, wheel bearing s and all! You need to do it right if your going to do it.

It sucks to have to get tires all the damn time too./ It is only about 100 bucks for a camber kit but it will cave you soooooo much money in the long run.

camber does make it wear faster! You are centered on a smaller section of tire! If a wheel has proper camber you are centered more in the middle of the tire and the tire is designed to ride there! towe (sp) has a bigger affect and will wear a tire that has bad camber faster that one with proper towe.
