Question help..

Ok straight up im a clueless teen looking to do suspension mods.. I did read the suspension 101 sticky(amazing, answered a lot but...)

I have a 08 Sport non SS w/ 2.4L le5 and I definitely want to lower my car, just I'm not sure how yet.. coilovers are out of my reach period, maybe once I get out of college and a WAY better job; anyway what exactly am I looking at when I look under my wheel well (font and back).. I've looked on Google images for a diagram and they SUCK.

So if I go with springs and get lets say the Eibach Pro kit?? Should I also look into upgrading my shocks or struts??(whichever is underneath)

OR should i just bite the bullet and save for a long time and get the coilovers?

REALLY looking for some helpful info thanks

Well you don't need to save for coils- only if you are looking to enhance your handling. If you are just looking for a drop you can grab some springs. I recommend Canuck Motorsport Springs.

Wth aftermarket springs, your stock struts will work fine
