First order of business is to get a Haynes or Bentley shop manual. If you are going to do this yourself you must have one, at a minimum, one of these manuals. AçğR e shocks won't do it for you. For mild drops, say 1-3 notches, you can still use stock size shocks for the rear. I know for my front 2 notch drop it required Bug shocks (KYB). You'll want firmer shocks and don't remove the bump stops. A shop manual is the number one required tool for the home mechanic. CC replies to: None, as I get messages right away.
