Nice color...rare. Get some spacers for your wheels. You'll need them especially once you lower the car.

Iv always read on here and been told that getting just springs will cause your stock suspension to go sooner...Its been over 3 years but I do remember being told that by veteran members with a lot done to their cars.

It depends on the spring rate and amount of drop. Higher spring rate = higher force on the shocks, and more drop = less shock travel. Both of these factors will shorten the life of your shocks to some degree.

OP getting lip kit and springs only is obviously going for looks instead of performance.

Which lip kit?

Springs + 25/30 spacers = WIN. Go for it.

went with the vis v-spec lip, I don't know if its just me but I see too many N1 lips. as far as spacers go, I'm waiting on a local seller who's going to sell me his used ichiba spacers for 20 bucks. I've got unorthodox lightweights, aem intake, and motordyne plenum spacer, I know its not much but slowly working on it. Frequent emergency out of town trips and bills have been killing my car budget. A fat set of wheels is what i'm shooting for by the end of this summer hopefully.
