lowering questions
 
I am thinking about lowering my 01, what parts are necessary to do it the right way and how much will it cost me? P.S. This is my first post as a new member!

welcome! All you will need is the right tools and lowering springs, thats its, a second person is also a big help
here is a link of how to do it-

springs range from 150- 350
depends on what kind and how much of a drop you want

To lower a car PROPERLY you should replace the springs front and back, shocks and struts (with heavier valved models like Tokico, Koni, Bilstein.. use Fox body struts to get a 1/2" of bump travel back), MM caster camber plates, bumpsteer kit.

You may not need the CC plates or the BS kit but I would do it anyway. They only help matters when properly installed. Depends really on how low you drop it. Don't go more than 2" or you'll trash the handling. If you go to heavier springs on stock shocks/struts you'll be under-damped and your car will handle much worse than it should. Getting caster camber plates helps assure you can get a good alignment that won't wear your tires out too fast.

You may begin asking questions now.
