Default What else?

Ok, i know its not just as simple as slapping on springs. With all the steering rack relocation kits and Roll center adjusters what else do i need to keep my car from feeling like it was tuned by a high school shop class. Im planning on getting tein CS or RA coilovers from bulletproof auto ( any feed back on them or suggestions on where else to go) Plus with roll center adjusters what mm do i need to get for a 1.5 inch drop. Iv tried googling but everything seems to give a half answer and nothing s2k specific. Im shipping for basic the 26th and i want to have a good shopping list to blow my little bonus on when i get back so moneys not at much of a limit and daily driving doesnt have the same deffinition to me as most people so Id like to have a rock solid setup

yep, alignment will do wonders. Go for the Euro s2k spec alignment, it's what I have on my car.

get some axle spacers, and be prepared for a possible vibration from the rear after lowering. but then just swap the inner joints.

You might want a new exhaust to replace the one that'll be ripped out from having yours so low. Hitting potholes, speed bumps, etc. will bust that exhaust up in no time.

My Dad told me all the trouble he had w/ his (stock) exhaust on his Austin Healey 3000 (stock ride height). He said it was a constant PITA.

with a 1.5" drop, that won't be an issue. I have a 1 finger gap all the way around, and I very rarely scrape my subframe or exhaust, and the roads here are full of potholes and speedbumps.
