Ok, so I'm thinking about lowering the 92 LE V6, but I'm kinda hesitant, only because I don't know what I will need part-wise. Laborly, my shop class teacher is a toyota school technician, so he can guide me through it some, but to simply lower the car, will all I need is just the new springs, I'm thinking about 2", so will that be all I need? I just had new shocks put it not even 2 weeks ago, so they are new, but theyre so new, the car just sits to high, as it is stock, and I'm planning on getting a set on 18" rims on sale at Sears (because I get employee discount :]) and then I'm going to have it painted gloss black or a dark gray, and get all clear headlights and corners, and HOPEFULLY a CF hood and trunk, but all these options won't look very nice with the high stock suspension. So back to my question, if I just buy a set of lowering springs for my specific model, will that be all I need? and will the process to swap them be very complicated? Also, If anyone had a set for sale cheaper than new if theyre only gently used and not worn, I'm interested, but in the meantime, any help will be greatly apprecited!

Also, I kinda want to add some foglights to my ride to for an extra touch after it's painted, but I have NO idea how to wire them in... Is there a tutorial on here anywhere someone could give me the link to so I'll know how, or a simple explanation, either would be a big help. Thanks

First of all, you have a lot to learn if you don't know what you'd need parts wise. IMO get something stylish (rims) instead of getting something that's just cheap. You're not going to get a CF trunk so don't bother asking about that. To see what you'd need to fit your car for the springs, the obvious solution would be to go to an online store and see what they have in their catalogue.

ur not gonna wanna hear this but i wouldnt get new springs without getting aftermarket shocks as well. either KYBs or Tokicos. id put off the wheels so you do this right.

this will help.
