How much Lower?
I quess this is a dumb question, but if i was going to get 19 inch rims and a body kit, how much would i need to lower it , if any, because i really don't want to mess up the suspention. Or if anybody knows the best set up i should use.

either Tein HA or HKS HiperMax Series 2 I am a owner of a set of the HKS myself I would never buy any other Coilover except them.... and 19's and kit hieght wise... it would depend on the kit... some hang lower then others... so be careful and do it right.. coilovers..

Installing Coilovers...
fairusa11,
Are the adjustable coilovers easy to install yourself? Do you need to get an alignment check after installing them? I am hesitant to go forward with coilovers, although I would really like to drop my IS about 1.5". If the install is something I can do myself with my basic garage tool set and requires no alignment check then I'll probably go ahead and buy a set of HKS coilovers.

) but here are you answers...You need an alignment after, just like you'll need an alignment after springs. Both affect your camber... it's no different. The install for coilovers is the same as springs-- the shock must be taken out and spring removed in both cases.
