ps. you are gonna need a camber kit and an alignment immediately after you drop your car. Or you can say goodbye to the tires that you have.

is your car awd or fwd?
If AWD I have a cheaper option for you. It will lower it about an inch and you will keep your stock springs, so the ride will stay the same. PM me if yours is AWD and you are interested.

Yeah man hacksaws and blow torches.
I guess its not a big deal. I used galant shocks, or any non turbo shock at that with our stock springs. It will lower the car ~an inch due to the shock body being shorter and the spring rate doesn't change.
I have since put my adjustables back on but the ride was so much nicer on the n/a shocks.
