cheap and quality do NOT go together when you are talking about suspension parts. Do you want it to ride like crap and be real low, or do you want it dropped nicely and still ride comfortably? For crap ride go to Autozone and buy the stock replacement struts for the front, then get on Ebay and buy the Dropzone coilovers, then you will be able to slam that ***** yo!! Now if you want a good ride, buy either the Koni inserts for the front, or if that is a little rich for you, you can get the Escort ZX2 front struts, which are a little shorter, and will give you a little more drop, and either Sustec (suspension techniques) or H&R drop springs. You might want to also look at replacing your control arm bushings and sway bar bushings while you are down there.
