dont settle with springs and shocks because if the drop is too low, you will definitley regret your decision

id wait and get a full setup. A car being lowered can get old really fast. Steep drivways usually win just to let you know

shboni definitely has a valid point. I'd still ride stock and save up for a air bag set up. Especially since you're living in SF. GL

I'd just wait for a good deal on coilovers. Maybe watch for a used set on the classifieds or ebay.

Lowered Car in SF = not a fun time

All those weird driveways, potholes, and underground parking structures are going to kill you
