Okay well i need to replace the struts, springs, sway bar, and whatever is involved with replacing handling parts. Ive browsed around the forum but nothing totally answered my question..

I want to know:
What are ALL the parts that i will need to complete this and I want a little bit lower ride hight but not by much.. vogtland springs?
 


For just a slight drop, yes, vogtland springs are the ticket. For a list of parts, just going off the top of my head:

  • Springs
  • Struts
  • Strut Mounts
  • Sway Bar, Front & Rear
  • Sway Bar Bushings
  • Lateral Arms
  • Strut Tower Braces
  • Trailing Arms
  • Sway Bar Endlinks
  • Control Arms
  • Control Arm Bushings
  • Ball Joints
  • Tie Rod Ends, Inner & Outer

And I'm sure there is a lot of little stuff to go along with that list. But it is pretty complete.
 
I usally check on this GM site for diagrams and some of there parts are cheap. They used to carry the Koni strut kits, handling kit, and brake upgrades but I believe they are discontinued.
