i would recommend getting the eibach sportlines, they are great springs all around and they have a really nice drop. it is low, but thats the only way you should rock the fit.

200-250 for the springs
140 for lifetime alignment at firestone or evans tires

thats all you need.
if you are going to do it yourself which is easy. you just need your tools like ratchets and allen wrenchs.

jackstands, and jacks of course.

eibach sportlines, tein s.tech or skunk2 i would recommend.

great thank you...

so all that is needed when buying is the springs themselves and i can take them to one of my shops to get them installed...

do i need new bushings or anything?

nope, you just need the springs. the OEM hardware will be re-used. you don't need any hardware at all other than the springs.
