Dropping Corolla 2inches...additional work?

Im thinking about dropping my corolla about 2 inches in front and 3 inches in back

so i was wondering if i do get springs and possibly spacers do i need to get like new shocks or adjust other parts or car since its lower?? I heard with coils you need to allighment it up but what about springs?

I'm also gonna install with my friend(possibly depending on if i feel cheap or not) but is there anything I should look out for?

Alignments are recommended after the car is lowered, unfortunately a company hasn't made a set of aftermarket struts or shocks for our cars that are designed for lowering springs, only OE replacements.

i suggest you invest in some coilovers, if you get spacers you might have to roll fenders/stretch tires depending how your wheel setup is.
