suspension lowering

Would I need to upgrade my stock shocks and struts with these lowering springs?

I don't want to break the bank or lower my car too much, these springs are pretty modest.

Or how should I lower it? I live in Minnesota, so don't want to go to low

The springs really aren't bad and the price point is very good. We offer them

We would match them with some Koni yellows

But keep in mind with lowering you should also do the rear lower control arms to get the rear alignment back in spec and not eat through tires

And ideally when doing springs it is really easy to do the rear sway bar which will be the biggest bang for the buck in improving the handling.
