question (noob to suspension)...if i just want to lower the car...
do i need just springs and shocks? or will i need struts too?
do aftermarket struts have better shocks? (i need like a suspension tuning 101 readup)
if i need struts springs and shocks, why not just go the coilover route? it seems like coilovers are a prestige kind of factor, so im assuming that most people that drop their car use something other than coilovers.

Yeah, that too. Here are some more sites that cover this pretty well.
