heh...no fat chicks

if you want to be able to lower and raise the car coilovers can be a good idea. when doing so make sure you get an actual full coilover system, which will most likely be made up of an adjustable shock and adjustable springs, but will also run you $750+ depending on the brand/quality/etc.

don't get coilover sleeves, like ground controls, these usually don't cost much more than lowering springs. they give you the adjustability that a full system gives you, the only problem is the lowering of the car can be hell on your stock shocks if the drop is too drastic. On the lowest setting on sleeves, your shocks probably won't last more than half a year or so and you'll start having that nice ricer bounce going.

look here to give you an idea. I'd probably stick with Toda, Progress, JIC, Zeal(JIC's american market branding), Tein, Spoon.
