I did a searcha nd still wasnt sure what i should do about lowering. This psring i am getting my stock complete 97-99 kit. I am looking to lower my car 1.5 inces. I herd this is a good amount and i plan on gettings some 18's.

My questions are how much is an average price for some lowering springs?
I have herd of a bunch of brands but dont know which ones?
Should i buy struts too?
Is it an easy task to change your springs?
I will be driving i the winter too so i will prolly change the springs every summer and winter so should i go with an adjustable strut?

I want the cheapest, versitile, smoothest ride. How much will this set me back?
