Hi Wayne. To replace both the front and rear suspension, with all new parts you need to do some homework. First, you need to decide if you will do the upgrade, or a qualified mechanic. I'll give you a warning now. I've found that most repair shops will not let you provide the parts. I have a person that's willing to perform the upgrade, and he let me provide the parts. He's located in Concord, CA. If you are not mechanically inclined, it would be easier to have the repair shop obtain the parts, and perform the upgrades. I spent hours figuring out what parts, and their related numbers were needed. In addition, I spent hours figuring out where I could get all the parts at the best price. I probably used 7 to 10 vendors. The reason I chose the Vogtland coil springs, and
H & G shocks and struts, was because of the cost. Also, with that configuration the convertible model should be lowered by 2". All of the other models are 1.5". There are many different configurations, and you need to decide how much are you willing to spend? Plus, you need to consider that the geometry of car changes when lowered. If your current bushing's are not in good shape, you might have to replace some or all of them. Good luck. Cheers, Aaron.
