Lets see em!

can you guys who have lowered your vehicles(preferrably with 15"wheels) post up some pics? when you post up the pics can you tell me what brand/type of spring you are using and any other useful info for a future buyer?

They are a coilover set, not sleeves. They cost me about $600 about nine months ago.

The NEX coilover that I have are a complete kit. They come with struts. So do the Tein and K-Sport coilovers.

with coilovers you dont need to buy struts.... like was said. they come with them... springs are the ones that blow shocks/struts. save up for coilovers.
